Abstract

t. Interrole conflict is the most common factor causing problems for working woman. During pandemic, mother’s responsibility on childcare and schooling increased due to the several schooling from home rules. Working mothers face work-family conflict (WFC) and family-work conflict (FWC) in which work-related demands limit their ability to perform their family roles or family stuff interfere their work performance. This study aimed to compare WFC and FWC within parental status of working woman (working mothers with and working women without children) and determine the type of coping strategies implemented by low level conflict group. There are 204 working women as respondents from 42 companies in Indonesia who were randomly selected using cluster random sampling. The interrole conflict measured using “interrole conflict questionnaire” in a scale 0-5. Parental status represents respondent’s roles divided into working mother with children and working woman without children. Working mothers defined as a working woman with at least 1 child under 10 years under their responsibility. Meanwhile, working women without children were working woman who were not responsible for any children. Coping strategy was measured by using a coping strategy instrument in a scale 0-5. Data were comparatively analyzed using independent sample t-test with 95% confidence interval (CI). The results showed that working mothers have 0.69 or 14% greater WFC score (p<0.05) and 0.40 or 8% greater in overall conflict score (p<0.01) compared to working women without children while FWC comparison didn’t showed any significant difference (p=0.44). The significant difference in coping strategies between 2 groups of conflict levels are in the stress management (p-value = 0.03) and problemsolving experience (p<0.01). This study concluded that work-family conflict becomes confirmed issue experienced by most working mothers during pandemic. It is recommended to consider strategic programs related to stress management and problem-solving improvement in the organization involved working woman
