A psychology study done by researchers of Canada proved that women find it stressful if they need to take home their remaining office work or when they are contacted by their bosses outside working hours. This study was done on U.S. employees.
Paul Galvin, lead author, a Ph.D. candidate in sociology at the University of Toronto have properly analyzed the data of the national survey of American workers when they were contacted outside their working hours.
This study was published in the Journal of Health and Social Behaviour. This study revealed that women feel guiltier when they are contacted by their office counterparts while at home. They feel psychological pressure on women is more than what men experiences in same situation.
“However, this wasn't the case. We found that women are able to juggle their work and family lives just as well as men, but they feel guiltier as a result of being contacted. This guilt seems to be at the heart of their distress”, said Galvin in a statement.
Scott Schieman, lead investigator at University of Toronto claimed that girls feel guiltier than men. Women on the other hand take the central control of the work and home which gives them more responsibilities.
