Women, Work, and Family

Three Studies of Roles and Identity Among Working Mothers

Teachers College, Columbia University

Three studies were conducted with partnered workingwomen with children younger than 18 years old living at home. The first two studies examine relationships among women's identity, career salience, attachment and coping styles, and work-family issues. The final study explores relations among individual differences, organizational variables, and turnover intent. Findings suggest that conflict as an identity element may be more a function of education and income than individual differences. Turnover intent was predicted only by organizational variables as perceived by the individual, not individual differences.

Key Words: identity • attachment • career salience • flexibility • turnover
