Employment participation of mothers of young children has steadily increased in developed nations. Combining work and family roles can create conflicts with family life, but can also bring enrichment. Work-family conflict and enrichment experienced by mothers may also impact children's home environments via parenting behaviour and the couple relationship, particularly in the early years of parenting when the care demands for young children is high.
In order to examine these associations, while adjusting for a wide range of known covariates of parenting and relationship quality, regression models using survey data from 2151 working mothers of 4- to 5-year-old children are reported.
RESULTS/CONCLUSION: Results provided partial support for the predicted independent relationships between work-family conflict, enrichment and indicators of the quality of parenting and the couple relationship.
在发达国家，幼儿母亲的就业参与率稳步上升。将工作和家庭角色结合起来可能会与家庭生活产生冲突，但也能带来充实感。母亲所经历的工作-家庭冲突和充实感也可能通过育儿行为和夫妻关系影响孩子的家庭环境，尤其是在育儿早期，此时对幼儿的照料需求很高。
为了检验这些关联，在对一系列已知的育儿和关系质量协变量进行调整的同时，报告了使用来自2151名4至5岁儿童的在职母亲的调查数据建立的回归模型。
结果/结论：结果为工作-家庭冲突、充实感与育儿质量指标和夫妻关系之间预测的独立关系提供了部分支持。
