This scale can be used to explain a complex set of adhere behaviors including predicting coping with daily hassles as well as adaptation after experiencing various kinds of stressful life events. It can assist the researchers in examining whether or not the effects of self- efficacy on well-being, distress and attainment of achieved goals varied according to the gender of the two parties. According to Barling and Macintyre (1993) and Parasuraman and Greenhaus (1992) they reported significant relationships between work-family conflict and various dealings of psychological distress in women leading to depressive symptoms and a decreased life satisfaction. The research sited that of women with at least one adolescent child self-efficacy, work and parental roles proved to be significant predictor of work –family conflict. The concept of conflict among women focused on the individual's attempts to meet both general family life and employment obligations. .
In more recent meta-analysis of the research on this concept, Kossek and Ozeki (1992) reported that conflict between work and family roles was a stronger predictor of life satisfaction for women over men. These statements seem to suggest that the general sense of having so many role demands or obligations that the individual feels unable to perform them all adequately leaving the employed women more vulnerable to stress and lower self-efficacy. In addition, factors that may be responsible for gender differences in self efficacy is with the nature of the self-belief that some gender differences in social personality may actually be a function of gender orientation. This is the stereotypical beliefs about gender that people hold. Are the models of these stereotypes partly responsible for the differences in confidence, self -beliefs and perceived value of tasks and activities?.
