“…These results should also be viewed in conjunction with past field studies examining career outcomes. Previous research has demonstrated that having children and a working wife may have a negative impact on career outcomes for men (Pfeffer & Ross, 1982;Schneer & Reitman, 1993;Stroh & Brett, 1996). Taken together, these studies suggest that at the present time, combining work and family responsibilities may be somewhat costly in terms of career outcomes for males.…”

“…Existing research also suggests that there may be between-and withingender differences in career outcomes according to parental status (Pfeffer & Ross, 1982;Schneer & Reitman, 1993;Stroh & Brett, 1996). Males or females who demonstrate family involvement by taking a parental leave of absence may be viewed as less suitable for rewards than their male or female counterparts who do not exhibit the same family involvement.…”

“…Research also indicates that men who take advantage of family friendly work options such as parental leave may be viewed as eccentrics who are not serious about their careers (Hall, 1989;Norman & Tedeschi, 1984). Stroh and Brett (1996) found that males who were members of dual-earner families worked slightly fewer hours per week than did managers with stay-at-home wives. Stroh and Brett postulated that, regardless of actual performance, the incidence of fewer hours could signal to others a greater commitment to family and less commitment to work.…”

This experiment examined the effects of ratee gender, type of leave of absence, and level of performance on perceptions of organizational commitment, work commitment, family commitment, and recommendations for organizational rewards. The proposed 3‐way interactions between gender, type of leave of absence, and performance level were not supported; however, main effects and 2‐way interactions were revealed. Moreover, perceived organizational commitment and work commitment were found to moderate the relationship between performance level and reward recommendations. The findings also indicated that men who were depicted as taking a leave of absence from work for parental reasons were less likely to be recommended for rewards than were males who had not taken a leave of absence.

“…Partners do influence each other's employment, and this influence depends on the context they live in (Blossfeld and Drobnič, 2001). In line with the idea of 'the wife as a resource' advanced by Stroh and Brett (1996), Jacobsen and Rayack (1996) revealed how men's earnings benefit from having a non-working wife and that men's earnings decrease as their wives increase their own market participation. More recently, Langner (2018) showed that men also can support their partners' career.…”

Gender Wage Gap and the Involvement of Partners in Household Work

Women still earn less than men and continue to perform the bulk of domestic activities. Several studies documented a negative individual wage–housework relation, suggesting that gender discrepancies in housework may explain the gender wage gap. Less attention has been paid to the role of the partner’s unpaid work and to the extent that intra-household inequalities relate to inequalities outside the house. The present study attempts to fill this gap in the literature. We exploit EU-SILC 2010 data for Germany and Italy and PSID 2009 data for the US. Results suggest the importance of accounting for a partner’s housework when evaluating the determinants of individual wages and the gender wage gap. Women seem not to profit from their partners’ housework; instead, women’s non-market work increases their partners’ earnings while decreasing their own earnings. This suggests the importance of reducing women’s involvement in domestic work in order to close gender wage equalities.

“…Previous research has illustrated that gender can interact with family structure variables in predicting various outcomes. For example, career advancement is associated with having a stay-at-home spouse for men (e.g., Landau & Arthur, 1992;Schneer & Reitman, 1993;Stroh & Brett, 1996;Tharenou, 1999), whereas mothers with employed spouses have similar pay levels and promotion rates as do other mothers and married women (e.g., Brett, Stroh, & Reilly, 1992;Schneer & Reitman, 1993. Likewise, married men tend to earn more than do single men (Korenman & Neumark, I99 1 ), but this effect does not appear to hold true for women (Dolton & Makepeace, 1987;Talbert & Bose, 1977).…”

Two hundred forty undergraduates rated their perceptions of an individual for a job requiring relocation using a 2 × 3 (Gender: Single Male, Single Female × Child: No Child, 3‐Year‐Old, 6‐Year‐Old) between‐subjects experimental design. Findings indicate that single parents are perceived as having a more difficult time adjusting to a move but are also perceived to be more mature than childless singles. Single parents are also more likely to be offered a job that did not require relocation and are more likely to be awarded a merit‐based stipend than childless singles. Support was also found for the hypothesized mediating role of perceptions of adjustment and maturity in understanding actions taken toward single parents. The results are discussed in terms of implications for future research and applied practice.
