초등학교 2학년 자녀를 둔 취업모의 일-가정 갈등에 영향을 미치는 요인

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to examine how working mothers’ educational enthusiasm, self-esteem, family functioning, social support, and working hours affect working mothers’ work-family conflict in second grade elementary schools. The participants were 672 working mothers with second-grade elementary school children from the 2016 Korean Children Panel. Data were analyzed using the descriptive statistics, Pearson’s correlations, and multiple regression analysis. The results were as follows: First, working mothers’ enthusiasm, self-esteem, family functioning, and social support showed a negative correlation with the working mothers’ work-family conflict. Conversely, the working hours showed a positive correlation with the working mothers’ work-family conflict. Second, the most influential factor on working mothers’ work-family conflict was working hours, the second most influential factor was family functioning, the third most influential factor was social support, and the least influential factor was self-esteem. The results of this study suggest that family-friendly policies and programs should be developed to prevent working mothers’ work-family conflict.
