“…Therefore from the theory given, demographic factors is not an activating event to cause enough effect to the belief system and emotional well-being of single mothers. This result confirmed previous data that showed that most single mothers face issues and challenges with task overload (Kelly & Voydanoff, 1985;Richards, 1989;Richards & Schmiege, 1993), multiple roles, less assistance in household and child care, and also less time available for social activities (Smith, 1980). Table 4 shows the correlation between the belief system and emotional well-being of single mothers.…”

This study aimed to identify the relationship between the belief system and emotional well-being of single mothers in Kluang, Johor. This study involved 58 respondents using the purposive sampling technique. Questionnaires were used to identify the emotional well-being and respondents' belief system. Data were analysed using Statistical Package for the Social Science (SPSS 19.0). Descriptive statistics in the form of percentage, mean, and inferential statistics, namely, 'Pearson r' correlation analysis was used to identify the relationship between single mothers' emotions and their belief system. Results of the study found the single mothers' emotional well-being to be moderate (M = 23:56, S.D = 6.62) and their belief system to be high (M = 37.55, S.D = 8.22). In addition, the study also showed a significant difference between the single mothers' age, reason for becoming single mothers, occupation, number of dependent children and family members, in relation to the single mothers' belief system and emotional well-being. However, there was no significant difference in the relationship between their level of education and belief system. The study also showed a moderate correlation between the two variables (r = 0.665, p = 0.000). Implications of the study are discussed and further research can be carried out on samples who have recently experienced a separation or divorce, to assess the short term and long term impact.

“…What little is known about work-family conflict specifically among unmarried mothers has been based on small, non-representative, localized samples from one city or one employer (Burden, 1986;Burris, 1991;Casey & Pitt-Catsouphes, 1994;Kelly & Voydanoff, 1985). For example, in a survey of about 460 workers in one city, Kelly and Voydanoff (1985) found that single mothers reported higher job tension than dual-earner or single-earner married couples.…”

Terms of use: Documents in AbstractThe purpose of this paper is to examine work-family conflict among low-income, unmarried mothers. I examine how social capital affects work-family conflict and how both social capital and work-family conflict affect employment. I analyze the Fragile Families and Child Wellbeing Study, a national sample of non-marital births collected in 1998 -2000 and 1999 -2002. Results show that social capital reduces unmarried mothers' reports of work-family conflict, especially for low-income women. In addition, mothers who report high levels of work-family conflict are less likely to be employed; this pattern holds for women who are not looking for work as well as those who are.However, even at high levels of conflict, low-income women are more likely to be employed. The results suggest that work-family conflict has two consequences for unmarried women: it keeps them out of the labor force and makes it more difficult for women who want to work to maintain employment stability.

“…These variables were included as control variables in order to demonstrate that the relationships found between job demands, job control and social support and depression and work-to-family conflict were not spurious results obtained through the omission of key variables from the analysis. Adequate Income is measured by Kelly and Voyandoff's (1985) single item measure of Income Inadequacy, which was reworded from a negative statement to a positive one: I feel I have enough money for all of my needs. The response categories are strongly disagree (coded 1) to strongly agree (coded 5).…”

Job Stress, Depression and Work-to-Family Conflict

In this paper, the Job Demand-Control (JDC) model is used to predict depression and work-to-family conflict for married lawyers working full-time. The objectives of this paper are: (1) to determine whether the JDC model applies to work-to-family conflict; (2) to incorporate domain-specific job demand and job control variables; and (3) to examine a wider array of different forms of social support. First, the JDC model also helps explain work-to-family conflict. Second, domain-specificity does not appear key to documenting the buffering effects for job control. Third, spouse’s support of one’s career has the strongest main effect on both depression and work-to-family conflict, whereas coworker support functions as a moderator of lawyers’ job demands and has both buffering and amplifying effects. This paper closes by discussing the possible conditions under which members of support systems may transfer or exacerbate stress effects rather than alleviate them.
