| Abstract |
This study is a report on the exploration of the relationship between job burnout, parental burnout, and inter-role conflict. The purpose is to examine what factors or combination of factors are contributing most to parental feelings of role conflict and burnout. The research question guiding this project asked how mental load, role conflict, hours spent in paid work, social class, and number of children in the home impact parental feelings of burnout. An online assessment using the survey tool Qualtrics was disseminated via social media, word of mouth, and via university email. The responses of the parents who have taken part in this study have indicated that there are various intersections where various roles can collide. The survey included questions in work exhaustion, home exhaustion, parental burnout, hours spent in the workplace, and the number of children in the household. The results reinforce that working parents can be better supported. Two open-ended questions were also included that indicated some positive spillover from a portion of respondents. Parents make countless decisions during this period in their lifespan. Trusting in parents' decision-making processes and encouraging healthy work and home lives will be paramount to more fulfilled and satisfied parents. |
