Abstract

Over the recent years, technology as an asset in today's world has inflicted change regarding the traditional concept of the role of man and woman. ICT as a pioneer in bringing about changes in people's lives has witnessed technological innovations and synthesis of information and communication, thus leading to information and knowledge-oriented society that is free from any sexual preferences. INTERNET as an outstanding example of ICT has gained momentum in women's life. Accordingly women once deprived of a role in power relations can now enjoy such facilities in order to improve their job quality and status. This research is predominantly aimed at examining the role of INTERNET in reducing traditional, social and cultural pressures in their career and family life at home. This study is based on qualitative research method and through interview it analyzes the impact of cyberspace on female professors of Tehran University.Women who enjoy INTERNET facilities have experienced reduced pressure in their traditional roles as well as being able to overcome paradoxes of family life and career. The results indicate that application of INTERNET can act as a managerial tool in reducing the paradoxes of family life and career of women while creating a balance between these two sides. Since INTERNET provides an opportunity for women to connect with other female experts from around the globe, they are less organizationally dependant and thus have more time for greater independence in their career. Married female specialists who simultaneously play mother and spouse roles, face greater challenges when fulfilling their roles. Career and family life are not necessarily homogenous. Thus when an individual shoulders more than one responsibility, she will try to schedule and plan her activities. This naturally leads to improved planning skill and management techniques. In the face of all challenges and paradoxes, INTERNET can serve as a management tool.Technology can be used to reduce women's problems when dealing with family affairs. It enables women to play two roles simultaneously and as a result creates a balance whereby success in one does not lead to failure in the other.In addition INTERNET enables women to enjoy life greater and have more pleasure. Material requirements including that of gender roles could have a debilitating role and act as obstacle against female specialists' career development.However, as the research shows diverse applications of INTERNET helped reshape these necessities while decreasing the pressure in women's career. Some examples of INTERNET applications by EXPERT WOMEN include checking their children's educational attainment on the school website, presentation of their papers through INTERNET and etc. Thus the study proves that using INTERNET will lead to reduced conflict between a woman's professional and gender roles so creating a balance to help them shoulder both responsibilities simultaneously.
