Abstract

There is a plethora of research on work and family. However, there has been less study of the work-family interface of divorced parents. This study of 240 divorced parents examined how they perceived their parenting and work role-identities and how these role-identities are associated with role balance and well-being. Findings suggest that divorced parents' perception of their parent and worker role-identity is in part influenced by others' view. The salience of parenting for both residential and nonresidential parents is significantly associated with well-being, suggesting the importance of this role-identity for mothers and fathers. Additionally, parents who experience greater role balance have greater well-being.
