Objective and Subjective Parental Working Conditions' Effects on Child Outcomes: A Comparative Test Research in the Sociology of Work 5 (1995): 259-284 Cohort(s): Children of the NLSY79 Publisher: JAI Press, Inc. Keyword(s): Cognitive Ability; Cognitive Development; Home Environment; Home Observation for Measurement of Environment (HOME); Intergenerational Patterns/Transmission; Job Satisfaction; Maternal Employment; Parent-Child Relationship/Closeness; Sociability/Socialization/Social Interaction; Unions; Working Conditions Examines the impact of objective and subjective parental working conditions on child cognitive outcomes and quality of children's home environments, based on data from the 1988 National Longitudinal Survey on a sample of 721 mothers and their children ages 5-8. Multiple regression analyses indicate that maternal job satisfaction positively affects the quality of children's home environments. While there is a bivariate association between maternal job satisfaction and child cognitive outcomes, maternal satisfaction is not a significant predictor of cognition, net of objective working conditions and control variables. Because quality of home environments affects cognition, however, maternal job satisfaction has an indirect influence on child cognitive outcomes through quality of the home environment. Findings suggest that the meaning of work can have intergenerational consequences. (Copyright 1995, Sociological Abstracts, Inc., all rights reserved.) |
