BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to examine the relationship between Korean fathers' work-family strains and gains and marital satisfaction and to validate the mediating effect of parenting stress in the relationship.
This study used the 14th-year survey data of the Panel Study of Korean Children (PSKC) conducted by the Korea Institute of Child Care and Education (KICCE), the latest available data. The PSKC is a longitudinal study of children's growth and development from birth in the Republic of Korea. After excluding datasets containing missing values from the data collected from 2150 respondents, the data were extracted from the survey responses collected from 1130 respondents, and descriptive statistical analysis, path analysis, and mediating effect analysis were conducted.
First, Korean fathers' work-family strains had a positive (+) influence on parenting stress (β = 0.658, < 0.001). Second, Korean fathers' work-family strains had a negative (-) influence on marital satisfaction (β = -0.185, < 0.001). Third, Korean fathers' work-family gains did not have a statistically significant influence on parenting stress (β = 0.016, = 0.632). Fourth, Korean fathers' work-family gains had a positive (+) influence on marital satisfaction (β = 0.381, < 0.001). Fifth, Korean fathers' parenting stress did not have a statistically significant influence on marital satisfaction (β = 0.011, = 0.783). Sixth, the indirect effect of work-family strains on marital satisfaction via parenting stress (β = 0.013, 95% Bias-corrected CI = -0.042∼0.075) was statistically significant, and specifically, it had a partial mediating effect. Seventh, the indirect effect of work-family gains on marital satisfaction via parenting stress (β = 0.028, 95% Bias-corrected CI = 0.005∼0.051) was statistically significant, and specifically, it had a partial mediating effect.
This study aims to provide the basic data for various family support policies for fathers by understanding the current status of work-family balance for fathers in modern society, as well as by examining the effects of parenting stress in the relationship with marital satisfaction.
背景/目的：本研究旨在探讨韩国父亲的工作-家庭压力与收获以及婚姻满意度之间的关系，并验证育儿压力在该关系中的中介作用。
本研究使用了韩国儿童保育与教育研究所（KICCE）进行的韩国儿童面板研究（PSKC）第14年的调查数据，即最新可得数据。PSKC是一项对韩国儿童从出生起的成长与发展进行的纵向研究。在从2150名受访者收集的数据中排除包含缺失值的数据集后，从1130名受访者的调查回复中提取数据，并进行描述性统计分析、路径分析和中介效应分析。
第一，韩国父亲的工作-家庭压力对育儿压力有正向（+）影响（β = 0.658，p < 0.001）。第二，韩国父亲的工作-家庭压力对婚姻满意度有负向（-）影响（β = -0.185，p < 0.001）。第三，韩国父亲的工作-家庭收获对育儿压力没有统计学上的显著影响（β = 0.016，p = 0.632）。第四，韩国父亲的工作-家庭收获对婚姻满意度有正向（+）影响（β = 0.381，p < 0.001）。第五，韩国父亲的育儿压力对婚姻满意度没有统计学上的显著影响（β = 0.011，p = 0.783）。第六，工作-家庭压力通过育儿压力对婚姻满意度的间接效应（β = 0.013，95%偏差校正CI = -0.042∼0.075）具有统计学显著性，具体而言，它具有部分中介作用。第七，工作-家庭收获通过育儿压力对婚姻满意度的间接效应（β = 0.028，95%偏差校正CI = 0.005∼0.051）具有统计学显著性，具体而言，它具有部分中介作用。
本研究旨在通过了解现代社会中父亲工作-家庭平衡的现状，以及研究育儿压力在与婚姻满意度关系中的影响，为针对父亲的各种家庭支持政策提供基础数据。
