“…Par ailleurs, les recherches de Repetti (1987) ainsi que celles de Lowe et Northcott (1988) et de Golding (1989 montrent qu'un faible niveau de soutien de la part du supérieur immédiat va de pair avec un niveau plus élevé de dépression et d'anxiété. D'autres formes de soutien, dont les services de gardiennage (Anderson-Kulman et Paludi, 1986;Goldberg et Easterbrooks, 1988;Lewis et Cooper, 1987;Ross et Mirowski, 1988) et le partage des tâches familiales avec le conjoint (Crockenberg, 1988;Kessler et McCrae, 1982), semblent moduler le rapport entre le rôle maternel et la santé mentale des mères qui cumulent le travail rémunéré et la maternité. Lewis et Cooper (1987) ont d'ailleurs observé un niveau de symptomatologie dépressive moins élevé chez les mères plus satisfaites de la participation de leur conjoint aux tâches domestiques.…”

Malgré le grand nombre de recherches portant sur le lien entre le cumul des rôles et la santé mentale des mères actives sur le marché du travail, il demeure malaisé de cerner les facettes de leur vécu qui sont déterminantes pour la santé mentale. À l'aide d'un échantillon composé de 250 femmes oeuvrant dans le secteur du secrétariat et âgées entre 25 et 45 ans, la présente recherche avait pour objectif d'identifier les caractéristiques du vécu féminin associées à la symptomatologie dépressive lorsque l'on considère de façon simultanée les expériences dans les rôles de travailleuse, de conjointe et de mère de même que le soutien aux rôles et le conflit travail-famille. Les données suggèrent l'apport marquant de trois aspects du vécu féminin à la détresse psychologique: une mauvaise qualité de la relation conjugale; des attitudes critiques du conjoint envers l'activité de travail de sa compagne; et un niveau élevé de conflit travail-famille. D'autre part, il semble qu'avoir vécu l'expérience d'avoir une mère qui combinait travail et maternité exerce une influence positive.Despite widespread research on the link between an accumulation of roles and the mental health of working mothers, it remains difficult to identify those aspects of life experiences that are crucial to ensuring mental health. This research is based on data collected from a group of 250 women, between the ages of 25 and 45, who work in the secretarial field. Its purpose: to identify the characteristics of women's life experiences associated with depressive symptomatology when three realms are considered simultaneously: life experiences in the roles of worker, spouse and mother, support in assuming these roles and work-family conflict. Data suggests a significant contribution to psychological distress stemming from three aspects of female life experience: conjugal relations of poor quality, the partner's critical attitudes toward the woman's work activities and a high level of work-family conflict. On a different note, it appears that having a mother who combines work and maternity exerts a positive influence

“…In addition, there is some indication that the psychological benefits of employment are evident only for women who are satisfied with their jobs (Kessler & McRae, 1982). With regard to social well-being, job satisfaction has been found to be positively related to family cohesion (Anderson- Kulman & Paludi, 1986) and to the amount of time that employees spend with their families and their interest in doing so (Voyandoff, 1988).…”

This article reports on a study of differences in the psychological and social well-being, spousal support, and job satisfaction of three groups of married mothers: those who were employed full-time in professionalmanagerial occupations, those who were employed full-time in working-class/blue-collar occupations, and those who were not employed. The results suggest the need to address differences in occupational status in future studies and to ensure that the needs of workingclass/blue-collar mothers receive particular consideration in policies and programs.

“…The experience of conflict or interference between work and family life is psychologically stressful (Pleck, 1983;Rapoport and Rapoport, 1976) and has even been found to be associated with physical symptoms of stress (Cooke and Rousseau, 1984). Employees who experience high levels of work/family conflict are also less likely to be satisfied with family life (Anderson-Kulman and Paludi, 1986;Kopelman, Greenhaus and Connelly, 1983) and life in general (Cooke and Rousseau, 1984;Greenhaus and Kopelman, 1981;Kopelman, Greenhaus and Connelly, i P63;Pieck, et al, 1980). Work/family conflicts also appear to have implications for organizations in terms of the way employees respond to their jobs and evaluate their employment options.…”

“…Work/family conflicts also appear to have implications for organizations in terms of the way employees respond to their jobs and evaluate their employment options. A number of studies have shown that employees who experience conflicts between work and family life are less likely to be satisfied with their jobs (Anderson-Kulman and Paludi, 1986;Cartwright, 1978;Cooke and Rousseau, 1984;Hall and Gordon, 1973;Pleck, et al, 1980;Shamir, 1983). The effects of work on family life also appear to be a factor in decisions to accept a job, promotion or transfer, or seek a new position outside the present organization.…”
