This study examined work-family enrichment, protective resources and psychological implications among working Israeli parents during COVID-19. In this cross-sectional study, 409 working parents were recruited during Israel's third lockdown. Levels of FWC/WFC and resilience were moderate, psychological distress and fear of COVID-19 were low, and perceived social support was high. All the study variables showed significant associations with each other. A multivariate regression analysis explained 30% of the WFC and FWC variance. We found differences in FWC/WFC based upon children's age but not on parents' gender. FWC/WFC mediated the effect of perceived social support and resilience on fear of COVID-19 and psychological distress. The findings explain the importance of personal resources during the pandemic in buffering the negative effects of parents' work- and family-related burdens and have important implications for helping families with young children cope during challenging times.
本研究调查了新冠疫情期间以色列在职父母的工作-家庭充实感、保护资源及心理影响。在这项横断面研究中，409名在职父母是在以色列第三次封锁期间招募的。工作-家庭增益/工作-家庭冲突水平及心理韧性处于中等水平，心理困扰及对新冠的恐惧程度较低，感知到的社会支持较高。所有研究变量之间均显示出显著关联。多元回归分析解释了工作-家庭冲突和工作-家庭增益方差的30%。我们发现，工作-家庭增益/工作-家庭冲突存在基于孩子年龄的差异，但不存在基于父母性别的差异。工作-家庭增益/工作-家庭冲突介导了感知到的社会支持和心理韧性对新冠恐惧及心理困扰的影响。研究结果解释了疫情期间个人资源在缓冲父母工作和家庭相关负担负面影响方面的重要性，并对帮助有幼儿的家庭在困难时期应对具有重要意义。
