Strain, Social Support, and the Meaning of Work for New MothersHallett, Catherine Croghan 08 1900 (has links)
The purpose of this study was to describe the relative importance of aspects of the occupational environment in predicting personal strain and changes in the meaning of work (perceived changes in work role salience and work values) during the transition to parenthood. The aspects of the work environment under investigation were: work interference with family, family interference with work, supervisor support for combining work and family, and organization support (respect, separation, and integration types). Control variables were husband support, an important factor in adjustment during the transition to parenthood, and socioeconomic status. A sample of 118 women in dual career couples with one child under two years of age were recruited through childcare centers and newspaper announcements. The sample was predominantly Caucasian and middle or upper-middle class. Subjects completed self-report questionnaires. Hypotheses were tested using hierarchical multiple regression. Results of this study provided partial support for the hypothesis that workplace support and work/family interference would contribute to personal strain. Only family interference with work emerged as a significant predictor. The results of this study provided partial support for the hypothesis that husband support, workplace support, and work/family interference would contribute to change in work values. Only husband support was a significant predictor. Having a traditional marriage in which the wife assumes greater responsibility than her husband for parenting and household tasks contributed to her altering work values. The results of this study did not support the hypotheses that husband support and workplace support would predict family interference with work or work interference with family. Also, the results did not support the hypothesis that husband support, workplace support, and work/family interference would predict change in work role salience during the transition to parenthood. Theoretical and methodological issues are discussed.

A matter of time : the lived experience of re/entering mothers in nursing educationLiversidge, Sharon Elaine 05 1900 (has links)
This study explored the lived experience of re/ehtering mothers who were entering
baccalaureate nursing education for their first registered nursing credential. These
re/entering women were either reentering higher education or entering for the first time.
The participants in this study were mothers of 1 to 3 children. In-depth personal
interviews and a focus group session were conducted with 5 re/entering mothers aged
28 - 45 years who were enrolled in the second year of nursing education in a community
college setting. Analysis revealed five major themes that were incorporated into a
narrative that reflected their lived experience as a multiple role learner in nursing
education: time as a scarce resource, a personal need to achieve, feelings of guilt related to
not "being there" for their children, re/entering women as the family organizer and their
positive perception of their multiple role status. The voices of these women are heard in
their stories that are interwoven throughout the narrative. The findings from this study
suggest ways in which institutions of higher education might assist and support re/entering
mothers and recommend this group of women as a target population for recruitment into
nursing.

Factors that motivate and disrupt single mothers in the workplace.Ndwandwe, Thobeka. January 2009 (has links)
Single parenting is rapidly becoming a growing trend in society. In South Africa an estimated 30% of households are headed by single parents. The key aim of the study was to establish whether single parents prioritized their careers over children. In an endeavour to determine the factors that motivate and disrupt single mothers in the workplace, a sample of 146 subjects was selected utilising non-probability sampling. Non-probability sampling was utilized to create the sample because there was no method of determining the precise size of the population from which it was going to be drawn. Two types of non-probability sampling were utilized to select the sample, namely purposive and snowball sampling. The sample consisted of 45 parents aged 21-24; 51 parents aged 25-34 and 50 parents aged 35-49. Data was collected using structured and self-completion questionnaires which were administered via e-mail. The analysis revealed that parents aged 25-49 had adequate economic resources and showed more concern for their children‟s academic achievements than younger parents, although not much assistance was given to their children in the area of homework. The study found that younger parents‟ economic conditions were inadequate and these parents did not participate in their child‟s school activities nor did they assist them with homework. A salient feature of this study is that young single parents aged 21-24 showed less concern for their children‟s education and well-being. The primary recommendation of this study is that members of society should wait until they have stable careers and a stable economic situation before they start families, as this will have positive ripple effects on the lifestyle they lead, irrespective of whether they are single parents or not. / Thesis (MBA)-University of KwaZulu-Natal, Westville, 2009.
