Abstract

Nowadays, working women not only undertake the same pressure in the work as men, but also need to play the family roles well after work. How to play various roles well and make balance between work and family is a major issue that contemporary working women have to face. Using the empirical research method, this research carried out in-depth interviews of 29 working women, and analyzed the interview data with qualitative research methods. Through introducing the roles of contemporary working women, analyzing the performance, causes, advantages and disadvantages of the role conflict, the purpose of this study is to make suggestions of how to deal with work-family conflicts and seek work-family balance.
