Abstract

Objective

This study sought to understand the prospective relationship between parents' jobs, parenting, and adolescents' subsequent school performance.

Background

Recent research shows that parents' poor job quality and work–family conflict (WFC) are adversely associated with young people's mental health and socioemotional well-being, with much less known about impacts on adolescents' academic outcomes.

Method

We used data from a nationally representative Australian cohort study to test a longitudinal model linking parents' job characteristics, WFC, and parenting warmth and irritability in early high school, and adolescents' academic achievement in middle high school. Separate models were run for mothers (N = 2,676) and fathers (N = 2,615), and additional multigroup models examined differences between low-income and middle- and high-income parents.

Results

Findings suggest that parents' WFC increases parenting irritability, which in turn is adversely associated with academic outcomes, particularly for low-income mothers. Findings also showed that low-income fathers' WFC was directly associated with poorer academic outcomes.

Conclusion

Parents' WFC in early high school may affect adolescents' achievement in middle high school, with some risks compounded for low-income households.

Implications

This study is among the first to establish a relationship between parents' WFC and adolescents' academic performance and highlights the importance of parents' job resources in supporting adolescent academic outcomes.

父母工作特征、养育子女与青少年学业成绩之间的纵向联系

目的了解父母职业、教养方式与青少年后续学业表现之间的潜在关系。近年来的研究表明，父母工作质量差和工作-家庭冲突（WFC）与青少年的心理健康和社会情感幸福感呈负相关，但对青少年学业成绩的影响知之甚少。方法采用澳大利亚一项具有全国代表性的队列研究的数据来检验一个纵向模型，该模型将父母的工作特征、WFC、父母在高中早期的温暖性和易怒性与青少年在初中的学习成绩联系起来。对母亲（N = 2676）和父亲（N = 2615）分别运行了单独的模型，并对低收入、中等收入和高收入父母之间的差异进行了额外的多组模型检验。研究结果表明，父母的WFC增加了父母的易怒感，这反过来又与学业成绩负相关，尤其是对低收入母亲而言。研究结果还表明，低收入父亲的WFC与较差的学业成绩直接相关。结论父母在高中早期的WFC可能会影响青少年在初中阶段的学习成绩，并且在低收入家庭中存在一定的风险。本研究首次建立了父母工作能力与青少年学业成绩之间的关系，并强调了父母工作资源在支持青少年学业成绩方面的重要性。
