Abstract
While existing literature has extensively examined work-family conflict and, most recently, work-family enrichment, research in these major work-family interface domains has predominantly focused on parental roles, particularly mothers, neglecting the experiences of women in other family roles. This oversight is particularly pronounced when considering the importance of cultural context in shaping women’s familial role experiences. Addressing these gaps, this research investigates the experiences of Latina daughters in navigating the work-family interface, and the impacts of the daughter role on career decision-making and family outcomes. Drawing from qualitative interviews with 40 Latina daughters in their early career stages, this research seeks to build new theory related to sources and implications of work-daughter conflict and enrichment. This research aims to answer three questions: (1) How do Latina’s view their daughter role in relationship to their work goals? (2) How, why, and when do Latina daughters experience work-family conflict and enrichment associated with the daughter role? and (3) What are the implications for their career and family? By examining the daughter role, cultural influences, and the implications on careers and family, this research contributes to a deeper understanding of the work-family interface. Theoretical and practical implications are discussed
