Abstract

The purposes of this study were to examine ⑴ the effects of fathers` job stress on their satisfaction with parenting and paternal involvement and ⑵ the mediating effect of fathers` work-family conflict on the relationship between job stress and parental involvement as well as between job stress and satisfaction with parenting. The participants of this study were 206 employed fathers who live in Seoul and Kyeonggi-Do with at least one preschool child. The instruments used for this study were ``Parental Satisfaction of Korea Parents(Hyon, On Gang & Jo, Bok Hee, 1994), ``Parental Involvement in Child Index(Radin, 1989)``, ``Korean Occupational Stress Scale(Jang, Se Jin et al., 2005) and ``Multidimensional Measure of Work-Family Conflict(Carlson, Kacmar & Williams, 2000). Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, correlations, a series of multiple regressions and Sobel Test. The results of this study were as follows; First, fathers`` job stress significantly influenced satisfaction with paternal involvement and parenting.

Abstract

The purpose of this research is to figure out the degree of preparation for old age and characteristics of the baby boomers` conjugal relations. It is for suggesting appropriate preparation plan for old age from the results of comparing the effect of conjugal relations on the preparation for old age between the baby boomers and the pre-elderly. We gathered the information about 965 baby boomers (Born in 1955∼1963) and 903 pre-elderly people (Born in 1945∼1954) from 15 areas of cities and countryside across the nation. The study results showed that there were no significant group difference between the baby boomers and the pre-elderly in the level of physical preparation, economical preparation and social preparation for the old age, which was the level of "I am preparing for the old age". Results show that the baby boomers are doing better preparation for old age in the leisure and hobby. The gender role variables such as equal labor sharing, joint account of real estates, joint account of asset management and the discussion variables about preparation for old age in conjugal relations have no difference between two groups, but the baby boomers are lower in satisfaction for relationship with spouse than the pre-elderly. Among the variables of conjugal relation category, equal labor sharing in gender role category has effect on the social degrees of preparation in the baby boomers, and joint account of asset management has effect on the economical degrees of preparation in the pre-elderly. Satisfaction of relationship with spouse has effect on the social preparation in both groups and the degree of discussion about preparation for old age also has effect in both groups. With this result of research, it is suggested that practical implication as well as further study on the preparation for old age in the baby boomers and the pre-elderly is needed.
