The introduction of the variable of work commitment in the analysis helps clarify the nature of the relationship between the wife's working status and different aspects of family structure and dynamics. It has been found that working women with high work commitment (HWC) are more satisfied with their marriage than nonworking women; perceive themselves as generally prevailing in decision making, as giving in in disagreements less often than their husbands and as having 'more' freedom of behavior in and outside their home. On the contrary, women with low work commitment (LWC) perceive by necessity rather than by choice a more "equalitarian" model of family dynamics in which their husbands help them often with many household tasks (while this is not true for HWC women), they jointly compromise in case of disagreements, jointly decide about different family decisions but have a restricted amount of personal freedom in or outside the home.
