“…Working mothers are expected to provide care for the family while simultaneously fulfilling their demands as employees in public services. This challenging situation causes working mothers to be more prone to stress than those who only focus on family care (Gharaibeh and Gharaibeh 2021; Rajgariah et al 2021).…”

“…Therefore, workplace and family demands can bring about stress and WFC (Asbari et al 2019; Rajgariah et al 2021). Gharaibeh and Gharaibeh (2021), Greaves et al (2017), and Rajgariah et al (2021) state that working mothers tend to have higher stress levels than nonworking ones. This phenomenon occurs in all organizations, including public service organizations.…”

Through the lens of the conservation of resources (COR) theory and gender-role perspective, this research investigates the effect of work-family conflict (WFC) on positive discipline parenting (PDP) via well-being among working mothers in Indonesian public organizations. A total of 218 mothers who worked in public organizations such as schools and hospitals were selected as participants. All participants had children attending schools from elementary to senior high school. Data were collected online with a three-wave data collection technique and analyzed using IBM SPSS AMOS ver. 26 and Hayes’ PROCESS macro on SPSS ver. 26. The results showed that WFC directly reduced the mothers’ PDP or indirectly lowered their well-being. In Indonesia, mothers are responsible for child-rearing and working in public organizations can cause resource imbalance. Scholars and practitioners should consider the existence of WFC and how it influences working mothers in public organizations. This study is among a few studies investigating WFC’s impact on working mothers’ well-being and parenting.

“…The vast majority of the respondent parents (95.7%) were mothers. The high participation of mothers is expected because, in the Middle Eastern context in general and Jordan in particular, mothers are the primary caregivers of children (Gharaibeh & Gharaibeh, 2021). The number of children attending schools from K-12 ranged from 1-4 in the majority of the families.…”

This study aimed to evaluate the distance learning experiences of Jordanian parents after their children returned to school due to the COVID-19 pandemic. A survey was completed by 1,675 parents from across Jordan and the vast majority of the respondents (86.31%) agreed that distance learning failed to achieve its goals. This study also investigated the differences among parents' demographic characteristics (area of living and type of school their children attend) and parents' perceptions of the factors that caused the failure of distance learning. The study found a significant difference between parents based on the area of living (urban and rural) and the type of school their children attend. Parents who live in rural areas and parents who send their children to public schools have a higher perception of the factors that caused the failure of distance learning than parents who live in urban areas and parents who send their children to private schools. To explore why parents' distance learning failed, parents answered open-ended questions and attributed this failure to many factors. Parents believe that distance learning failed due to many factors, and the most common factors are low learning motivation among students, poor accessibility to electronic devices required for distance learning and a poor internet connection, family related issues like economic status, large family size, and lifestyle, the last factor related to a distance learning culture. The findings of the study suggest some implications and recommendations for teachers and policymakers.
