Abstract Based on interviews with 62 women leaders from Mainland China, Hong Kong and USA, conducted by Fanny M. Cheung and Diane F. Halpern, This study developed a cross-cultural comparison on how women leaders in different cultural settings combined the work and family. The findings showed that there were cultural differences in the patterns of managing time, descriptions of their own family roles and in factors affecting their feelings about work-family conflict. At the same time, they also showed differences in the stereotypes of this relationship.
