Partner support and work-life balance (WLB) are important for families' well-being. Previous research has linked perceived family support, WLB, and satisfaction with food-related life (SWFoL); however, there is limited information regarding each parent's support from their partner. Drawing on the conservation of resources theory, the work-home resources, and the actor-partner interdependence model (APIM), this study examined the direct and indirect effects of parents' perceived partner support, WLB, and the SWFoL of dual-income parents and their adolescents, considering the moderating role of parents' gender-transcendent attitudes.
A total of 516 dual-earning parents with one adolescent child were recruited in Chile using non-probability sampling. The parents completed scales measuring perceived partner support, WLB, and gender role attitudes. The three family members responded to the Satisfaction with Food-Related Life scale. The data were analyzed using the mediation APIM, structural equation modeling, and multi-group analysis.
The model fit was robust (RMSEA = 0.016; SRMR = 0.052; CFI = 0.982; TLI = 0.978). The findings showed that the mothers' SWFoL was indirectly and positively affected by their and the fathers' perceived partner support through both parents' WLB. The fathers' SWFoL was directly and positively affected by their perceived partner support and indirectly via their WLB. The adolescents' SWFoL was directly and positively affected by the mothers' perceived partner support and indirectly by the fathers' perceived partner support through the fathers' WLB. In families where the fathers exhibited low gender-transcendent attitudes, the relationship between the mothers' perceived partner support and WLB was stronger.
Thus, it can be concluded that the mediating role of work-life balance is significant, as it facilitates the transmission of resources within and between individuals to enhance parents' and adolescents' SWFoL.
伴侣支持和工作与生活的平衡(WLB)对家庭幸福至关重要。先前的研究将感知到的家庭支持、工作与生活的平衡以及与食物相关生活的满意度(SWFoL)联系起来;然而,关于每位父母从其伴侣那里获得的支持的信息有限。本研究借鉴资源守恒理论、工作 - 家庭资源以及行为者 - 伴侣相互依赖模型(APIM),考察了父母感知到的伴侣支持、工作与生活的平衡以及双收入父母及其青少年的与食物相关生活的满意度的直接和间接影响,并考虑了父母性别超越态度的调节作用。
在智利采用非概率抽样招募了516名有一个青少年子女的双职工父母。父母完成了测量感知到的伴侣支持、工作与生活的平衡以及性别角色态度的量表。三名家庭成员对与食物相关生活的满意度量表进行了回答。使用中介APIM、结构方程模型和多组分析对数据进行了分析。
模型拟合良好(RMSEA = 0.016;SRMR = 0.052;CFI = 0.982;TLI = 0.978)。研究结果表明,母亲的与食物相关生活的满意度通过父母双方的工作与生活的平衡受到她们自己以及父亲感知到的伴侣支持的间接正向影响。父亲的与食物相关生活的满意度受到他们感知到的伴侣支持的直接正向影响,并通过他们的工作与生活的平衡受到间接影响。青少年的与食物相关生活的满意度受到母亲感知到的伴侣支持的直接正向影响,并通过父亲的工作与生活的平衡受到父亲感知到的伴侣支持的间接影响。在父亲表现出低性别超越态度的家庭中,母亲感知到的伴侣支持与工作与生活的平衡之间的关系更强。
因此,可以得出结论,工作与生活平衡的中介作用是显著的,因为它促进了个体内部和个体之间资源的传递,以提高父母和青少年的与食物相关生活的满意度。
