Sažetak
Using Belsky's (1984) model of determinants of parenting as
a conceptual framework, this paper examines how parenting
behavior of employed parents relates to objective job
characteristics (work hours, job demands, job autonomy and
job flexibility) and parental subjective experiences of
parenting-work interaction (importance of parenting and
employee role, and work-to-parenting and parenting-to-work
conflict). The study encompasses 162 employed fathers and
380 employed mothers with children aged 3 to 16 years.
Data were collected by means of on-line questionnaires
applied via Internet. The results show that job characteristics
are somewhat more related to paternal than to maternal
parenting, especially when negative parenting is concerned.
Among both mothers and fathers subjective job experiences
are more related to parenting than objective job
characteristics. The most important predictors of parenting
behavior of both mothers and fathers are parenting-to-work
conflict and importance of parenting role. Maternal
parenting is also related to importance of employee role.
Theoretical as well as practical implications of findings are
discussed, and directions for future research are given.
