This study examines the association between grandchild care—a prevalent form of family support in which a grandparent provides non-custodial care to their grandchildren—and parents' work-family conflict. Drawing from the work-family and intergenerational support literatures, we propose a bidirectional association between grandchild care and parents' work-family conflict and examine parent-grandparent conflict regarding caregiving as a boundary condition. Participants included 347 working parents whose own parents provided grandchild care. Results from a cross-lagged panel model indicated that grandchild care at Time 1 was associated with lower levels of time- and strain-based family-interference-with-work (FIW) one year later. By contrast, Time 1 grandchild care was not associated with Time 2 work-interference-with-family. Contrary to predictions, Time 1 work-family conflict did not predict grandchild care at Time 2. However, caregiving conflict moderated the association between both time- and strain-based FIW at Time 2 and grandchild care at Time 2, such that there was a negative association when caregiving conflict was at average or above-average levels. Interestingly, caregiving conflict at Time 1 was associated with higher levels of FIW at Time 2, and supplemental analyses indicated that both grandchild care and WIF at Time 1 predicted higher levels of caregiving conflict at Time 2. These results support the proposition that family support may reduce FIW and suggest that grandchild care can be a mixed blessing for employees' work-family conflict.

去祖母家:对孙辈照顾与工作家庭冲突之间关联的交叉滞后测试

这项研究考察了孙辈照顾(一种普遍的家庭支持形式,祖父母为孙辈提供非监护权的照顾)与父母的工作与家庭冲突之间的关联。借鉴工作-家庭和代际支持文献,我们提出了孙子照顾与父母工作-家庭冲突之间的双向关联,并研究了将照顾作为边界条件的父母-祖父母冲突。参与者包括 347 名在职父母,他们的父母负责照顾孙子。交叉滞后小组模型的结果表明,在时间 1 的孙子照顾与一年后基于时间和压力的家庭对工作的干扰 (FIW) 水平较低有关。相比之下,时间 1 的孙子照顾与时间 2 的工作干扰家庭无关。与预测相反,时间 1 的工作家庭冲突并不能预测时间 2 的孙子照顾。然而,照顾冲突缓和了时间 2 基于时间和压力的 FIW 与时间 2 的孙子照顾之间的关联,因此存在当护理冲突处于平均或高于平均水平时,负相关。有趣的是,时间 1 的看护冲突与时间 2 的较高水平的 FIW 相关,补充分析表明,时间 1 的孙子照顾和 WIF 都预测时间 2 的照料冲突水平较高。这些结果支持家庭支持可能减少 FIW 并建议照顾孙辈对员工的工作家庭冲突可能是喜忧参半。看护冲突缓和了时间 2 基于时间和压力的 FIW 与时间 2 的孙子护理之间的关联,因此当看护冲突处于平均水平或高于平均水平时,存在负相关。有趣的是,时间 1 的看护冲突与时间 2 的较高水平的 FIW 相关,补充分析表明,时间 1 的孙子照顾和 WIF 都预测时间 2 的照料冲突水平较高。这些结果支持家庭支持可能减少 FIW 并建议照顾孙辈对员工的工作家庭冲突可能是喜忧参半。看护冲突缓和了时间 2 基于时间和压力的 FIW 与时间 2 的孙子护理之间的关联,因此当看护冲突处于平均水平或高于平均水平时,存在负相关。有趣的是,时间 1 的看护冲突与时间 2 的较高水平的 FIW 相关,补充分析表明,时间 1 的孙子照顾和 WIF 都预测时间 2 的照料冲突水平较高。这些结果支持家庭支持可能减少 FIW 并建议照顾孙辈对员工的工作家庭冲突可能是喜忧参半。
