Relationship between Well-Beings of Mothers with Infants and Work-Family Fit

Abstract

This research examined relationship of married womenʼs well-beings with work-family fit, even when effects of work and family experience were controlled. Both 222 full-time employed and 255 part-time employed women were asked to complete a series of questionnaires. Age of their youngest child was less than 6-year old.At first, confirmative factor analyses revealed four independent components in work-family fit scale; facilitation from family to work, facilitation from work to family, conflict from family to work, and conflict from work to family. It was shown that womenʼs satisfaction with job and family experiences, most notably, spousal support, were positively related to her well-beings. And the results of hierarchical regression analyses demonstrated that components of workfamily fit contributed independently to her well-beings.
