The study examined the direct and indirect effects of parents' workload, work-to-family conflict (WtoFC), job satisfaction, and family satisfaction among dual-earning parents and their adolescent children.
A total of 516 dual-earning parents and one adolescent child were enlisted for the study using non-probabilistic sampling. Mothers and fathers completed assessments about workload, WtoFC, and the Overall Job Satisfaction Scale, while all three family members responded to the Satisfaction with Family Life Scale.
The data were analyzed using the mediation Actor-Partner Interdependence Model and structural equation modeling. The findings revealed a negative association between mothers' workload and family satisfaction. Moreover, both parents' workloads reduce adolescents' family satisfaction. Both parents' workload was positively associated with their WtoFC. Additionally, WtoFC was found to significantly mediate across intraindividual and interindividual domains, linking workload and job satisfaction in parents and workload and family satisfaction for parents and their adolescent children.
These empirical insights underscore the critical need to mitigate workload and WtoFC to enhance parental job satisfaction and family satisfaction of all family members. The study's practical implications provide the audience with actionable insights that can be applied to workplace practices, empowering them to make informed decisions.
本研究考察了双职工父母及其青春期子女的父母工作量、工作与家庭冲突（WtoFC）、工作满意度和家庭满意度的直接和间接影响。
采用非概率抽样法，共招募了516对双职工父母及其一名青春期子女参与研究。父母双方完成了关于工作量、工作与家庭冲突以及总体工作满意度量表的评估，而所有三名家庭成员都对家庭生活满意度量表做出了回应。
使用中介行为者-伙伴相互依赖模型和结构方程模型对数据进行了分析。研究结果显示，母亲的工作量与家庭满意度之间存在负相关。此外，父母双方的工作量都会降低青少年的家庭满意度。父母双方的工作量与他们的工作与家庭冲突呈正相关。此外，研究发现工作与家庭冲突在个体内部和个体之间的领域中起到显著的中介作用，将父母的工作量与工作满意度以及父母及其青春期子女的工作量与家庭满意度联系起来。
这些实证见解强调了减轻工作量和工作与家庭冲突对于提高父母工作满意度和所有家庭成员家庭满意度的迫切需求。该研究的实际意义为读者提供了可应用于职场实践的可行见解，使他们能够做出明智的决策。
