Özet

Family-friendly organizations offer practices to help workers balance their potentially conflicting work and family roles. The aim of the study is to analyze the extent to which family organizations benefit from family-friendly practices among managers, non-managerial white-collar and blue-collar employees. Family-friendly practices are classified in three subsets: flexible scheduling, leave practices and dependent care benefits. The data was collected from 105 human resources managers in family organizations. It was found that family firms are at a low level in offering flexible scheduling. Parental leave was found to be offered at a high level for each employee group. Private family health insurance is generally limited to managers, while financial support for the care of elderly family members is very low for all three employee groups.
