SILVA, Anielson Barbosa da; ROSSETTO, Carlos  and  REBELO, Luiza. Sources and consequences of conflict in the relationship work-family of women managers. Rev. Portuguesa e Brasileira de Gestão [online]. 2010, vol.9, n.4, pp.15-25. ISSN 1645-4464.

The present research aimed at identifying the sources and consequences of the conflicts in the relation between work-family of the manager women. The methodological approach used was the qualitative one. The research was done with fifteen manager women who work at a financial institution in three Brazilian capitals. The data collection was held through semi structured interviews. The interpretative comprehensive results analysis followed the orientation of Silva (2005). The study has revealed three sources of conflict: time, behavior and tension. Time generates problems in the personal and professional life, interfering more in the family relations than in the professional relations. The conflicts generated by the behavior and by the tension affect us as well as the family relations (kids, spouse and parents) and professional relations (partners, employees and clients). The conflicts in the work-family relation experienced by the women are interconnected and cause harm in their performance and their life quality.

Keywords : Work; Family; Conflict; Women Managers.
