This study examined the effect of work-hours constraint, i.e., the discrepancy in women’s actual and ideal hours worked, on couple’s mental health (depression symptoms assessed with a questionnaire) and relationship satisfaction. Irish dual-earner couples (N=3,928), participants of a large cohort study the Growing Up in Ireland, were assigned to three groups based on women’s work-hours constraint: overemployed, underemployed and adequately employed. Group comparison carried out with MANCOVA indicated that adequately employed women had lower depression than overand underemployed women, but no group differences were found in women’s relationship satisfaction. We also found lower levels of relationship satisfaction in partners of overand underemployed women. It was hypothesized that negative crossover between partners would be accentuated under situations of greater stress (i.e., in overand underemployed groups). Multiple group pathway analysis showed a stronger negative crossover effect from partner’s depression to women’s relationship satisfaction in the overemployed group, but not in underemployed group. These findings suggest that greater attention should be directed at a governmental and organizational level to facilitate correspondence between actual and preferred working hours for mothers of infants and their partners. © 2018 Ela Polek.
