Abstract
This paper attempts to explore the impact of role conflict on marital quality of dual career
couples in Peshawar, Pakistan. Role conflict i.e. family to work and work to family conflict
was taken as independent variable and marital quality was selected as dependent variable.
Marital quality was operationalized through four components including satisfaction,
communication, togetherness and marital disagreement. Data was gathered through
structured questionnaire on three-point Likert type scale from 388 respondents in 6
universities and 3 hospitals in Peshawar city of Pakistan. Results of uni-variate analysis
suggest that the study participants were experiencing family to work and work to family
conflict. The data further shows that majority of the study participants were having high
level of marital quality; nonetheless lower scores were also obtained on all the components
of marital quality. Regression analysis suggests that role conflict was significantly and
negatively related with marital satisfaction, communication, togetherness and positively
related with marital disagreements. Likewise, correlation analysis shows that marital
satisfaction, communication and marital togetherness are positively correlated while
negatively correlated with marital disagreements. It is concluded from the study that role
conflict experienced from either domain reduces marital satisfaction, communication and
marital bond while increases marital disagreements between dual career couples.
