Abstract
This study investigated the gender and cultural differences experienced in the work-family conflict (WFC) by Norwegian and Indian doctors and nurses. Do Norwegian and Indian doctors and nurses experience a similar or different type of work-family conflict for their respective gender? Our sample consisted of 27 doctors and 328 nurses from Norway, as well as 111 doctors and 136 nurses from India. The analyses revealed that there was no gender difference visible between the doctors and nurses of both countries in relation to the perception of WFC, but there were differences between the two countries’ doctors and nurses in relation to their job control and flexibility in working hours on the work-family conflict. By splitting the data into four groups we found that Norwegian nurses experienced high job demands associated with WFC and Indian nurses perceived high job control and low flexibility in working hours associated with WFC.
