چکیده:
The aim of this article is to achieve a deep understanding of women's narrated experience of the power distribution structure in the family. The research method is qualitative. The data collection tool is semi-structured interviews, and the data analysis technique is life story analysis. The sampling design in this article is purposeful, and the sampling method is theoretical saturation. The respondents include 25 employed women and 25 unemployed women. The theoretical framework of the research is derived from Blood and Wolfe's resource theory, which, based on its assumptions, posits that the division of power in the family and the power base of each spouse are influenced by the resources available to each of them and the normative value expectations of husband and wife; in other words, the more resources a person possesses, the more power they enjoy. The research results indicate the existence of three decision-making patterns: dominant woman, dominant man, and consensual pattern in both employed and unemployed women's families. The research results show that although employed women possessed resources, assets, and wealth, these assets were not effective in their decision-making superiority. Therefore, women in both groups mainly had decision-making superiority in micro and low-cost decisions and were less influential in macro and high-cost decisions. Additionally, women in both groups have been flexible in the face of men's authoritarianism for the sake of 'preserving their lives' and have yielded to their decisions.
