Abstract

This research aims at demonstrating what the role of macro-societal, meso-organisational and micro-individual levels in creating a work-life balance of migrant women employees are. In order to achieve the aforementioned aim, this study adopts a conceptual approach that includes the literature on the work-life balance of migrant women employees by considering institutional and intersectionality approaches. Thus, this study extends the concept of work-life balance and demonstrates the institutional mechanisms in shaping the work-life balance of migrant women employees. In macro-societal level, this study raises the institutions of patriarchy, politics and economics and their role in creating an exclusionary workplace for migrant women employees. In meso-organisational level, the study considers ethnicity, gender and religious minorities as dimensions for facing discriminatory approaches from organisations and how migrant women employees work in a lousy working condition, especially unskilled ones. In micro- individual level, the study considers capitals as a power source for migrant women employees and shows why they are critical. As a conclusion, based on the conceptual approach, this study provides suggestions for future research in order to both extend the conceptual understanding of work-life balance and experience of migrant women employees since this approach is scarce in the literature.

Özet

Bu araştırma makro-toplumsal, mezo-örgütsel ve mikri- bireysel düzeylerin göçmen kadın çalışanların iş yaşam doyumunu oluşturmadaki rolünü göstermeyi amaçlamaktadır. Bahsedilen bu amaca ulaşabilmek için bu çalışma, göçmen kadın çalışanların iş yaşam dengesi literatürünü kurumsal ve kesişimsel yaklaşımları da dahil ederek kavramsal bir yaklaşım benimsemektedir. Böylece bu çalışma, iş-yaşam dengesi kavramını derinleştirmekte ve göçmen kadın çalışanların iş yaşam dengelerini şekillendiren mekanizmaları göstermektedir. Makro- toplumsal düzeyde bu çalışma ataerkillik, ekonomi ve politika kurumları ve onların göçmen kadın çalışanlar için nasıl dışlayıcı bir iş çevresi oluşturduğunu ileri sürmektedir. Mezo-örgütsel düzeyde çalışma, etnik köken, toplumsal cinsiyet ve dini azınlıkları örgütlerde ayrımcı yaklaşımlarla karşılaşmaları ile özellikle düşük nitelikli olan göçmen kadın çalışanların kötü çalışma koşullarında nasıl çalıştıklarını dikkate almaktadır. Mikro-bireysel düzeyde, çalışma göçmen kadın çalışanlar için sermayeleri bir güç kaynağı olarak değerlendirmektedir ve neden önemli olduğunu belirtmektedir. Sonuç olarak, bu çalışma gelecek çalışmalara hem iş yaşam dengesi kavramını hem de literatürde nadir olduğundan dolayı göçmen kadın çalışanların deneyimlerini derinleştirmek için öneriler sunmaktadır.
