Abstract

This study investigated when, how and why fathers’ work-family conflict (WFC) influences their adult offspring earnings. Building on conservation of resource theory and crossover theory, we propose a moderated mediation model, arguing that for fathers with higher social interaction infrequency (as opposed to lower), fathers’ WFC will have a stronger indirect effect on children’s earnings 17 years later via the sequential mechanisms of vitality and children’s hope of success. The model was supported by 17 years of dyadic father–child data (N = 592) from the Household, Income and Labor Dynamics in Australia (HILDA) Survey. Theoretical and practical implications, as well as future research directions, are discussed.
