working women during the
COVID-19 pandemic
بخشی از متن:Abstract
Purpose – The COVID-19 pandemic has affected women in unique gender-specific ways, particularly their
traditional status as home managers. This study aims to draw on the role theory to examine the impact of the
COVID-19 pandemic on women’s work–family balance during the lockdown.
Design/methodology/approach – The current COVID-19 pandemic, which has altered the ways in which
we live and work, requires specific methodological tools to be understood. The authors, therefore, opted for an
interpretive–constructivist and constructivist–phenomenologist approach. The dataset, thus, comprises of
semi-structured interviews with 26 working women in the UK.
Findings – The findings illustrate how the COVID-19 lockdown has intensified British women’s domestic
workload and has, thus, caused unbridled role conflict, which has further been exacerbated by structural and
interactional roles undertaken by women, especially during the lockdown. Remote working has contributed to
women’s role congestion and role conflict and poses severe challenges to role differentiation. Furthermore, we
found that the lockdown has facilitated the rediscovery of family values and closeness, which is connected to
the decline in juvenile delinquency and low crime rate that has resulted from the lockdown.
Originality/value – Through the lens of the role theory, this study concludes that the cohabitation of work
and family duties within the domestic space undermines the ability to achieve work–family balance and role
differentiation due to the occurrence of inter-role conflicts. This study enriches our understanding of the effect
of remote working on female employees’ work–family balance during the unprecedented COVID-19 pandemic
lockdown.
