Abstract:
Limited research has examined how micro- and mesosystem-level family factors relate to parental burnout across cultural contexts. Using a cross-cultural design, this study explored the relationships and underlying mechanisms linking work-family conflict, work-family enrichment, family routine, and family ritual meaning to parental burnout. The sample consisted of 1373 parents from the United Kingdom and Vietnam (Mage = 37.90, SDage = 7.93 years; 77.7% mothers). We found that work-family conflict, work-family enrichment, family routines, and ritual meaning were significantly correlated with parental burnout, with similar patterns of association between the two countries. However, culture-specific differences emerged. After controlling for demographic variables, work-family conflict was the strongest predictor of parental burnout in the UK sample, whereas family routines played a more prominent role in the Vietnamese sample. These findings underscore the importance of cultural context in understanding parental burnout and offer insights for theoretical frameworks and clinical prevention and intervention.
