Abstract

This study aims to understand parenting stress of entrepreneurs and attempts to extend the empirical evidence on the predictors and consequences of parenting stress for entrepreneurs. This study draws on data from the Household, Income and Labour Dynamics in Australia (HILDA) survey. The sample comprises of 2051 entrepreneurs with parenting responsibilities. The antecedents and consequences of parenting stress are tested using structural equation modelling. The results reveal that social support is a strong predictor of parenting stress and that there is a direct effect between parenting stress and family to work interference (FWI). In addition, parenting stress partially mediates the relationship between social support and FWI. Adding a direct path from social support to FWI substantially improves the validity in a revised model. No effects of gender stereotypes are found.
