Despite work–family research focusing on family-friendly climates, many employees work under a family sacrifice climate, facing employer pressure to put the demands of work before the demands of family and leading to increased work-to-family conflict. A family sacrifice climate enforces consistent behavioural expectations across all employees in the form of family domain boundaries being permeable to work and work domain boundaries being impermeable to family. However, employees likely experience family sacrifice climates differently. Drawing on the boundary theory and social role theory, we investigate how individual differences in gender and boundary management preferences interact to shape the relationship between perceived family sacrifice climate at work and work-to-family conflict in a two-wave sample of 157 professional employees. Results show women experience more work-to-family conflict from perceived family sacrifice climate than men, and segmentation preferences further shape this relationship but in opposite ways for men and women. Results indicate higher segmentation preferences are associated with a stronger relationship between family sacrifice climate and work-to-family conflict for women but a weaker relationship for men. We discuss implications of these findings for understanding the role of organizational climate in creating gendered work–family experiences.

性别问题：家庭牺牲环境中性别和细分偏好对工作与家庭冲突的影响

尽管工作-家庭研究侧重于家庭友好的氛围，但许多员工在家庭牺牲氛围下工作，面临雇主将工作需求置于家庭需求之前的压力，并导致工作与家庭之间的冲突加剧。家庭牺牲氛围以家庭领域边界可渗透到工作和工作领域边界不可渗透的形式在所有员工中强制执行一致的行为期望。然而，员工可能会经历不同的家庭牺牲氛围。借鉴边界理论和社会角色理论，我们在 157 名专业员工的两波样本中调查了性别和边界管理偏好的个体差异如何相互作用以塑造工作中感知到的家庭牺牲气氛与工作与家庭冲突之间的关系. 结果表明，与男性相比，女性因感知到的家庭牺牲氛围而经历更多的工作与家庭冲突，而细分偏好进一步塑造了这种关系，但对男性和女性而言则相反。结果表明，较高的细分偏好与女性的家庭牺牲氛围和工作与家庭冲突之间的关系更强，但男性的关系较弱。我们讨论了这些发现对理解组织氛围在创造性别化工作-家庭体验中的作用的意义。结果表明，较高的细分偏好与女性的家庭牺牲氛围和工作与家庭冲突之间的关系更强，但男性的关系较弱。我们讨论了这些发现对理解组织氛围在创造性别化工作-家庭体验中的作用的意义。结果表明，较高的细分偏好与女性的家庭牺牲氛围和工作与家庭冲突之间的关系更强，但男性的关系较弱。我们讨论了这些发现对理解组织氛围在创造性别化工作-家庭体验中的作用的意义。
