“…Focusing on the relative balance between role enhancement and role conflict among married professional women, Tiedje and Wortman (1990) found conflict to have the stronger impact such that women who experienced high role conflict were more depressed and less satisfied as mothers, regardless of perceptions of enhancement. Similarly, in a study of employed married women, Hecht (2001) found that although the role conflict between working and being a mother was significantly related to lower levels of psychological health, role overload was not significant.…”

Role overload, job satisfaction, leisure satisfaction, and psychological health were measured for 1 women who were employed full time. Role overload was negatively correlated with psychological health, job satisfaction, and leisure satisfaction. Job satisfaction and leisure satisfaction were positively correlated with psychological health. Stepwise regression analyses indicated that role overload was the strongest predictor of psychological health and that job satisfaction and leisure satisfaction, respectively, added significantly to the prediction equation.

“…Les résultats de la présente recherche révèlent que ce type de conflit est associé positivement à le détresse et contribue de façon significative à l'explication de sa variance. Ces données renforcent le constat auquel sont arrivées de nombreuses études n'incluant généralement qu'un ou deux rôles féminins (Coverman, 1989;Guelzow et al, 1991;Parry, 1986;Tiedje et al, 1990).…”

“…La surcharge, les conflits d'horaire, la fatigue, le manque de temps pour soi, l'inquiétude concernant l'impact négatif du travail rémunéré sur les enfants ainsi que les sentiments de culpabilité (Skinner, 1982;Streit et Tanguay, 1989;Tiedje et al, 1990) semblent indissociables du cumul des rôles de travailleuse et de mère. Les chercheurs désignent ces stress ou désavantages du cumul sous le terme de «conflit de rôles» ou encore «conflit travail-famille» (Greenhaus et al, 1989;Loerch et al, 1989); les données de plusieurs recherches suggèrent que ce type de conflit augmente le niveau de malaise psychosomatique tant chez les femmes professionnelles (Guelzow et al, 1991;Tiedje et al, 1990) que chez des femmes appartenant à d'autres niveaux occupationnels (Coverman, 1989).…”

Malgré le grand nombre de recherches portant sur le lien entre le cumul des rôles et la santé mentale des mères actives sur le marché du travail, il demeure malaisé de cerner les facettes de leur vécu qui sont déterminantes pour la santé mentale. À l'aide d'un échantillon composé de 250 femmes oeuvrant dans le secteur du secrétariat et âgées entre 25 et 45 ans, la présente recherche avait pour objectif d'identifier les caractéristiques du vécu féminin associées à la symptomatologie dépressive lorsque l'on considère de façon simultanée les expériences dans les rôles de travailleuse, de conjointe et de mère de même que le soutien aux rôles et le conflit travail-famille. Les données suggèrent l'apport marquant de trois aspects du vécu féminin à la détresse psychologique: une mauvaise qualité de la relation conjugale; des attitudes critiques du conjoint envers l'activité de travail de sa compagne; et un niveau élevé de conflit travail-famille. D'autre part, il semble qu'avoir vécu l'expérience d'avoir une mère qui combinait travail et maternité exerce une influence positive.Despite widespread research on the link between an accumulation of roles and the mental health of working mothers, it remains difficult to identify those aspects of life experiences that are crucial to ensuring mental health. This research is based on data collected from a group of 250 women, between the ages of 25 and 45, who work in the secretarial field. Its purpose: to identify the characteristics of women's life experiences associated with depressive symptomatology when three realms are considered simultaneously: life experiences in the roles of worker, spouse and mother, support in assuming these roles and work-family conflict. Data suggests a significant contribution to psychological distress stemming from three aspects of female life experience: conjugal relations of poor quality, the partner's critical attitudes toward the woman's work activities and a high level of work-family conflict. On a different note, it appears that having a mother who combines work and maternity exerts a positive influence

“…Proponents of this role accumulation/enrichment perspective argue that individuals that are highly committed to their multiple roles actually create or find additional personal resources to meet their varying role responsibilities (Garey, 1999;Marks, 1977). Indeed, Tiedje et al (1990) found that some married female college professors with pre-schoolers experienced both role enhancement and role conflict, whereas others experienced either enhancement or conflict, and still others experienced negligible enhancement or conflict. A decade later, South Korean female professors with children reported higher levels of both role gratification and role conflict than nonemployed mothers married to professors (Park & Liao, 2000).…”
