Gendered Pathways to Work–Family Balance and Their Consequences: Insights From Dual‐Career Faculty Couples

Human Resource Development Quarterly, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study examines gendered work–family balance (WFB) experiences among dual‐career academic couples at U.S. research‐intensive universities. By comparing faculty couples who shared the same or similar professional and family contexts, the study explores how gendered demands, challenges, resources, and strategies shaped distinct WFB outcomes.
