1	När självuppfyllelsen krockar med familjens krav : En studie kring erfarenheter av att balansera arbete, familj och studier. / When self-fulfillment clashes with family obligations : A study on experiences of balancing work, family, and education. Chehade, Lisa, Sjölund, Jani January 2023 (has links) The study, conducted at selected Swedish universities and colleges, focused on the balance between work, family, and studies for working professionals. In this qualitative study, twelve individuals were examined to explore their experiences of balancing work and studies alongside their full-time employment, as well as how the boundaries between work and family affected individuals in committed relationships with children under the age of 12. The theoretical framework of the study was centered around work-life balance and the significance of different roles in achieving this balance. The study's results highlighted challenges in balancing work, family, and distance learning for working parents. Common challenges included time constraints, the impact of children on work and studies, and a lack of support. Women experienced greater effort and a dual workload due to traditional expectations. Men in leadership positions often had more flexibility and fewer conflicts. The study concludes that combining full-time employment, children, and studies is challenging, particularly for women striving for economic improvement. The authors suggest that future research should examine how communication patterns within the family can affect balance, and further explore the situation for individuals holding non-leadership positions.
