The purpose of this study is to show how dual earner couple’s role assignment affect their lives multi-dimensionally. Using a sample of 342 dual earner men/women from 2012 KGSS data, this research examined 1) the effect of ‘objective’ and ‘subjective’ role assignment on work-family conflict and family life satisfaction, 2) the effect of aforementioned variables on depression, and finally 3) the causal path among variables that predict depression. Regression analysis and Baron and Kenney’s statistical mediation analysis were conducted. The results of this study are as follows. First, job satisfaction, subjective health, and respondent’s work hour was significant factor on both work-family conflict and family life satisfaction whereas other variables had different effects respectively. Overburden evaluation, longer work hour, higher number of cohabiting preschooler, lower job satisfaction, lower subjective health, and longer care labor time was responsible for severer work-family conflict. On the other hand, higher job satisfaction, longer work hour, higher subjective health, spouse’s longer care labor time, and respondent’s shorter care labor time had significant effect on greater family life satisfaction. Second, work-family conflict and family life satisfaction had outstanding effect on depression compared to role assignment related variables; that is severer work-family conflict and lower family life satisfaction had to do with higher level of depression. The result shows that the more negative evaluation of their health, the greater number of cohabiting preschooler the greater the depression. Moreover, spouse’s housework and care labor time had significant negative relation with depression even when work-family conflict and family life satisfaction were included in the model. Third, ‘subjective health’ had both direct and indirect effect on depression with both ‘work-family conflict’ and ‘family life satisfaction’ as mediators. ‘number of cohabiting preschooler’ directly influenced depression and indirectly through ‘family life satisfaction’. ‘Job satisfaction’ had negative effect on depression only through ‘work-family conflict’ and ‘family life satisfaction’ as mediators. Spouse’s care labor time only had direct effect on depression, and respondent’s work hour had effect on depression with family life satisfaction as mediator. This result suggests that employment conditions should be improved in order to enhance the quality of life. Moreover, it implies that marital adjustment such as setting appropriate role assignment and cooperating can minimize various imbalance and strain of dual-earner couple.
