Jamie Ladge and Danna Greenberg are co-authors of Maternal Optimism: Forging Positive Paths through Work and Motherhood. Jamie Ladge is a Professor of Management and Organizational Development at Northeastern University. Her research explores the psychological and career implications of working parents.  Danna Greenberg is a Professor of Organizational Behavior at Babson College. She studies work/life transitions.  Their work has been published in top management and human resources journals and in the popular press.Stew talks with Jamie and Danna about their findings, including the ways in which the transition to motherhood (and fatherhood) can, despite popular notions,  have a salutary effect on your work life. They’ve found that many mothers report becoming more empathic toward coworkers and that, forced to prioritize, they tend to delegate more to others, thereby helping to develop people at work. Ladge and Greenberg found there is no one-size-fits all solution; every working family requires a different set of solutions and these vary over the course of the life cycle. Talking with others, including those at work, helps you to see not only that you are not struggling alone, but that there are countless workable strategies;  you have to figure out what works right now for your own unique family circumstances. What is essential is to have a personal vision, to understand your own identity and who you want to be as a working parent.  As a working mother, you have to muster the courage to choose what is right for you, at this moment. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Ep 129. Jamie Ladge and Danna Greenberg: Maternal Optimism

The return to work following the birth of a first child is often a period of time when new mothers are working towards mastering the tasks associated with caring for an infant and managing their workplace demands.  New mothers may consider leaving their organization if they question their ability to either effectively perform their job or their parenting roles.  Drawing from social support and social comparison theories, this seminar explores how supportive work environments shape new mothers’ turnover intention.  Using a sample of 695 new mothers who had recently returned to work following the birth of their first child, Ladge finds evidence that perceived manager support and role models who portray work and family balance influence both job and maternal self-efficacies, which contribute to new mothers’ turnover intentions.  Speaker: Jamie Ladge, Associate Professor of Management and Organizational Development, D’Amore-McKim School of Business, Northeastern University
