Summary: | This article contributes to the ongoing discourse in gender and women's studies by offering a
comprehensive exploration of the work-family interface, focusing on Malaysian Muslim
women's unique perspectives and experiences. Employing a quantitative survey approach and
examining various facets of this phenomenon, including influencing factors, challenges,
perceptions of conflict, and strategies for balance, this research aims to provide a nuanced
understanding of the work-family interface. By directly incorporating the voices and
experiences of working Malaysian Muslim women, this study sheds light on the intricate
nature of their efforts to harmonise professional and family roles. The findings underscore
the paramount importance of achieving work-family equilibrium in contemporary society and
emphasise the need for shared domestic responsibilities, redefined gender roles, and career
choices aligned with family priorities, reflecting the agency and resilience of these women in
managing this multifaceted interface |
