Abstract

This study was carried out to investigate the mediating role of parental satisfaction on the relationship between work-mother role conflict and parenting stress of employed mothers. Participants were 515 mothers of children aged 2 to 5 recruited from companies in Gyeonggi Province, Korea. Survey was conducted from February 15 to March 20, 2013. Structural equation modeling was used to examine direct and indirect effects among study variables. As a result, work-mother role conflict and parental satisfaction directly influenced parenting stress. Work-mother role conflict directly influenced parental satisfaction. The indirect effect of work-mother role conflict, with parental satisfaction as a mediator was verified on parenting stress. Therefore, to relieve the parenting stress of employed mothers, diverse programs to improve parental satisfaction need to be utilized along with decreasing work-mother role conflict through the settlement of child care policy.

본 연구는 취업모가 지각한 일-어머니 역할 갈등이 양육스트레스에 영향을 미치는 과정에서 부모역할만족도의 매개적 역할을 규명하고자 수행되었다. 연구의 대상은 경기도에 소재한 직장에 다니는 만 2-5세의 자녀를 둔 취업모 515명이었다. 조사는 2013년 2월 15일부터 3월 20일까지 실시하였다. 일-어머니 역할 갈등, 부모역할만족도, 양육스트레스 간의 구조적 관계를 알아보기 위해 구조방정식모델을 이용하여 분석하였다. 연구결과, 일-어머니 역할 갈등과 부모역할만족도는 양육스트레스에 직접적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 일-어머니 역할 갈등은 부모역할만족도에 직접적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 일-어머니 역할 갈등은 부모역할만족도를 매개로 양육스트레스에 간접적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 그러므로 취업모의 양육스트레스 감소를 위해서 보육정책의 정착을 통하여 일-어머니 역할 갈등을 낮추고 부모역할만족도를 높이기 위한 다양한 프로그램들을 활용하는 방안이 필요하다.
