Abstract

This study is grounded in the increasing participation of women in the formal workforce, which is
not accompanied by a proportional redistribution of domestic responsibilities, thereby intensifying
Work-Family Conflict (WFC). The complexity of this phenomenon is further heightened in male
dominated organizational contexts that are embedded with patriarchal norms and values. This study
aims to explore the lived experiences of female employees and the meanings they construct regarding
WFC within such environments.This research employs a qualitative approach using Heideggerian
hermeneutic phenomenology to capture participants’ subjective experiences. Data were collected
through in-depth interviews with married female employees at the Regional Office of PT Perkebunan
Nusantara I Regional 3 and analyzed interpretatively using NVivo 12. The findings demonstrate that
WFC is not merely shaped by time-, strain-, and behavior-based dimensions, but is also deeply
influenced by structural gender dominance embedded in organizational practices. Three major
themes emerged: (1) the constructed meaning of WFC, (2) the lived reality of a masculine workplace,
and (3) self-adjustment as a strategic response to sustain both work and family roles.

Keywords: work-family conflict; masculine workplace; gender inequality; gender in workplace
