Drawing from life course theory, the purpose of this paper is to investigate the mediating role of family influence on career development (FICD) on the relationship of helicopter-parenting (over-parenting behavior) and US millennials’ work attitudes.,In Study 1 (n=268), confirmatory factor analysis was tested on all scales to derive fit models. Mediation analyses using PROCESS (Preacher and Hayes, 2004) were conducted on Study 1 and Study 2 (n=196) on survey collected data sets.,Capturing life course theorists’ proposition that parental involvement now extends itself through childhood and into millennials’ adulthood, results from both studies indicate helicopter-parenting is related to FICD. Further, for both studies, information support (FICD factor) positively mediates the relationship between helicopter-parenting and, affective commitment and job satisfaction, and negatively mediates the relationship between helicopter-parenting and turnover intentions. Additionally, direct effects on helicopter-parenting on work outcomes were found in both studies.,CEOs and managers seem perplexed on how to manage millennial workers. Understanding the co-occurring positive and negative effects of the millennial-parent relationship on work attitudes can help alleviate this conundrum to create better supervision, retention and engagement of millennial workers.,This study contributes to the sparse empirical literature on millennial’s work attitudes and is the first to provide empirical evidence of the role parents play in shaping millennial’s work attitudes. The findings highlight the concerns CEOs have in managing their millennial workers via their parental relationship and provide insightful management strategies.

家庭影响力调节了直升机育儿与千禧一代工作态度之间的关系

本文以生命过程理论为基础，旨在研究家庭影响对职业发展的影响（FICD）在直航父母（过度父母行为）与美国千禧一代的工作态度之间的关系。研究1 （n = 268），在所有尺度上测试验证性因子分析以得出拟合模型。在研究1和研究2（n = 196）上对调查收集的数据集进行了使用PROCESS进行的调解分析（Preacher and Hayes，2004）。捕获了生命历程理论家关于父母参与的观点现在已经扩展到了童年和成年一代，两项研究的结果均表明，直升机育儿与FICD有关。此外，对于两项研究，信息支持（FICD因子）都可以积极地调解直升飞机与父母之间的关系，情感承诺和工作满意度，并消极地调节了直升机育儿和离职意图之间的关系。此外，在两项研究中都发现了对直升机育儿的直接影响对工作成果的影响。CEO和经理们似乎对如何管理千禧一代工人感到困惑。了解千禧一代与父母之间的关系对工作态度的共同正反作用，可以帮助缓解这个难题，从而更好地监督，保留和千禧一代工人的敬业度。本研究为有关千禧一代工作态度的稀疏实证研究做出了贡献，并且是首先提供经验证据，证明父母在塑造千禧一代的工作态度中所起的作用。
