Maternal Employment: Investigating the Links Among Family and Job Characteristics, Emotional States, Social Supports, and Child Rearing Practices

Maternal employment research has been hindered by the lack of an adequate conceptual model representing the process through which maternal employment may influence children's development. To develop such a model, the present study investigated (1) the stress associated with the incompatibility between work and family roles as a possible mediator of this process, (2) employed mothers' satisfactions with social supports as another possible mediator, and (3) the relationships among maternal employment characteristics, emotional state variables, satisfactions with social supports, and child rearing practices (e.g., relying on rewards and physical punishments).
