ASSESSING THE ROLE OF ETHNOPSYCHOLOGICAL DIMENSIONS IN WORK–FAMILY BALANCE AMONG TECHNICAL ORGANIZATION

The balance between occupational pressures and family obligations continues to be a consistent issue in technical organizations because of their highly scheduled structure, shifts in production systems, and command organization culture combined with deep-rooted cultural traditions. This research focuses on the effect of ethnopsychological characteristics including family collectivism, ethnic and clan identity, power distance, gender roles traditionality, filial responsibility, and uncertainty avoidance on the work-family balance of employees working in technical organizations in engineering, production, and technical support positions. The study is based on the field of cross-cultural organizational psychology and provides the analysis of the topic under consideration in the context of the post-Soviet Central Asia that features extended families, collectivism, and gradual evolution of the corporate culture. The methodology utilized for this research includes a quantitative cross-sectional design with a stratified sample of employees employed in the mechanical, electrical, production, quality control, and technical support departments of technical organizations. Further departmental variations also show that floor workers score lower on work-family balance as compared to technical support workers, which is due to greater rigidity in their schedules. These findings will be discussed in light of current cross-cultural work-family literature and their relevance to human resource management, supervision, and organizational culture in a technical organization in a collectivist society will be highlighted.
