Abstract
Research on the work-family interface has not consistently addressed how the positive and negative features of work-family dynamics relate to the experience of parenting, and still fewer studies have explored these interrelationships using dyads. This investigation addressed this gap by examining the extent to which mothersL and fathersL reports of work-family conflict and enrichment influenced their own and their spouseLs parenting experiences. Each member of 346 dual-earner couples in Portugal completed measures of work-family conflict (WFC) and workfamily enrichment (WFE), along with measures of parenting attitudes and competencies. Dyadic analysis revealed that WFC and WFE affected the quality of parenting attitudes and competencies differently in men and women. Also, a differential pattern of crossover effects between partners was found, particularly with respect to the effect of mothersL work-family dynamics on fathersL parenting experience. For women, while only one significant partner effect was observed (from fathersL WFC to mothersL increased relational frustration), four partner effects were found in menLs parenting experience (from mothersL WFC to fathersL increased relational frustration, reduced sense of competence and reduced attachment; and from mothersL WFE to fathersL increased involvement). Further implications of these findings for advancing understanding of the impact of workfamily dynamics on intrafamily relationships are discussed.
