Abstract

The sandwich generation faces dual responsibilities of supporting parents and raising children, resulting in heightened levels of stress and negative work-related outcomes. Despite a wealth of research on the sandwich generation, few studies have examined the specific nature of the multigenerational needs of the sandwich generation. Accordingly, we introduce a new concept termed family intergenerational stress (FIS), which refers to the interaction and integration of stresses from elder caregiving, child-rearing, and associated challenges with self-definition. Through the lens of FIS, we collected interview data from 137 sandwich generation employees, secondary network data, and field observation data from 21 employees. We further used grounded theory to explore employees' stress and coping responses to dual family responsibilities. Findings indicate that employees with both elder caregiving and child-rearing responsibilities experience FIS. This, in turn, threatens their identity as an ideal worker and is associated with lower work engagement. Findings further reveal that in coping with FIS, employees adopt different identity-based strategies. Theoretical and practical implications are discussed.

家庭代际压力:通过应对和身份管理探索和发展概念。
夹心层一代面临着赡养父母和抚养子女的双重责任,导致压力和与工作相关的负面结果增加。尽管有关三明治一代的研究很多,但很少有研究探讨三明治一代的多代需求的具体性质。因此,我们提出了一个新的概念,即家庭代际压力(FIS),它是指来自照顾老人、抚养子女以及相关自我定义挑战的压力的相互作用和整合。通过 FIS 的视角,我们收集了 137 名三明治一代员工的访谈数据、二级网络数据以及 21 名员工的实地观察数据。我们进一步运用基础理论探讨了员工对双重家庭责任的压力和应对措施。研究结果表明,同时承担照顾老人和养育子女责任的员工会经历 FIS。这反过来又威胁到他们作为理想员工的身份认同,并与较低的工作投入度有关。研究结果进一步显示,在应对 FIS 时,员工会采取不同的基于身份的策略。本文讨论了其理论和实践意义。(PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2024 APA, all rights reserved)。
