In this paper, we examine the attitudes toward integrating work and family in a sample of 247 teachers in Switzerland and Israel. More particularly, we focus on the national context’s role in mediating the relations between professional and private spheres. The data were collected by a questionnaire implemented and administered in the two countries. The analysis reveals differences between Israeli and Swiss teachers regarding the importance of attribution to life roles and their attitudes toward conflict and facilitation. Findings suggest new insights into the consideration of cultural elements in shaping the teachers’ attitudes toward the integration of family and work.

在本文中，我们在瑞士和以色列的247名教师中研究了对融合工作和家庭的态度。更具体地说，我们专注于国情在调解专业领域和私人领域之间的关系中的作用。数据是通过在两个国家实施并管理的调查表收集的。该分析揭示了以色列和瑞士教师之间在归因于生活角色的重要性以及他们对冲突与便利的态度上的差异。研究结果表明，在塑造教师对待家庭和工作融合的态度时，对文化因素的考虑有了新的见解。
