Abstract
This paper is a proposal for a study that, in contrast to many earlier studies, hypothesizes that, as more and more mothers have entered the workforce, both women and business have had to change in order to accommodate the trend. The paper explains that the purpose of the study is to shed some light on the fundamental relationship between family and business in a working mother?s life and suggests that understanding this relationship will help further our understanding of society as a whole. The types of variables used, data collected, literature on the subject, and methodology to be employed are described as well.
From the Paper
"The challenges, due to the increase in working mothers, has continued year after year, for more than five decades, and continues to this day. As the mother is still the foundation of most children?s lives, it is imperative to see how this change will affect our future generations. As these same women become an even more important cog in the American workplace machinery, our understanding of how they affect business can only lead to increased efficiency and efficacy."

Abstract
This paper discusses problems such as the lack of coordination between divisions, the corporate culture known as the HP Way, and management issues at Hewlett-Packard following the institutionalizing of structural changes. The writer describes some relevant theories, such as Fiedler's Model, and shows wherein Hewlett-Packard falls short of this managerial model and therefore has been ineffective. The paper concludes with suggested short- and long-term solutions.

From the Paper
"There are two major issues at the root of the problems described by the case study relating to Hewlett-Packard. Firstly, there is the fact that the company appears to struggle with implementing effective change in the continually changing environment in which it operates. Secondly, it appears that there is difficulty in the internal cooperation between computer divisions. At first glance, this difficulty of handling change effectively appears somewhat unusual, as the company has successfully implemented major changes for decades. In any event, these problems result in a number of other issues that the company is struggling with."

From the Paper
"For the past four decades working mothers have become a common place event. The value that they add to the national economy, the workplace environment, and the overall picture with regard to employers can be measured through the study of past research. Working mothers have recently begun to give up on trying to handle work stress and family stress and have begun abandoning professions and jobs to stay home with their children. Indicators of increased depression and other issues are beginning to surface through this occurrence and it is important to design and implement solutions that will allow working mothers to continue in their jobs while at the same time be able to address family needs."

The Dilemma of Working Mothers, 2002.

Abstract
Given the economic realities of twenty-first century North American society, the traditional nuclear family model - working father, homemaker mother - is no longer a sustainable unit. Since the 1970s mothers have increasingly worked outside the home, both full-time and part-time, in order to provide their families with added income. However, as this paper will argue, the phenomenon of working mothers is a dilemma for modern women as they are torn between the demands of paid work and the demands of child care. Inadequate daycare services, and the continuation of traditional (sexist) models of the division of housework, have led to increased levels of dissatisfaction among working mothers.

Working Mothers and Child Care, 2008.
This paper explores whether leaving children in a child care facility is detrimental to a baby's attachment to its mother.
1,892 words (approx. 7.6 pages), 7 sources, APA, AU$ 96.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper discusses the concern of new mothers that leaving a baby in a child care facility will diminish its ability to recognize its mother. The paper explains that those who select a good child care facility have little reason for concern about attachment. The paper looks at the sociological research that has proven that high-quality child care is beneficial for babies and young children and does not diminish attachment to the mother.
From the Paper
"Many new mothers have deep concerns that returning to work shortly after giving birth and leaving their baby in a child care facility every day could have a detrimental effect on the baby's ability to recognize its mother. They have a tendency to believe that frequent contact with their baby is necessary in order for a mother-child bond to form, develop, and be maintained. Consequently, they wonder if child care is always bad for babies and young children.
"I can offer reassurance in response to these concerns, for many sociological studies have been conducted in order to identify the influence of childcare on babies and young children, and most of these studies indicate that there are no negative effects. For example, Bengt-Erik Andersson's (1992) research and analysis of this issue indicates
that child-care is beneficial for babies. He studied socioemotional behavior such as attentiveness versus distractibility, impulsivity and short temper, assertiveness, and interactions with others, and none of his study results "indicated negative effects of day-care during infancy.""

Working Mothers, 2002.

Abstract
An essay on the struggles of women who work at night. Choosing night work so they can care for their families during the daytime. Myth of the nuclear family, and ideal role of women in the home. Economic issues. Personal problem of focusing on others while ignoring their own needs and desires.
From the Paper
"Anita Ilta Garey, in Wharton, writes of the economic, physical, psychological, social and familial struggles of women who work at night and raise families in the daytime. These women work because their families need the money, and they work at night because it allows them to fulfill the responsibilities of being mothers and wives during the day. The most interesting parts of Garey's essay to me have to do with the ideals which women are pursuing as they work at night and raise a family by day, and the role that the 2000 census, as a current event still playing a role in defining America, plays in this set of circumstances. Basically, Garey says that the women are pursuing the ideal of the traditional nuclear family, which portrays the woman/mother/wife as a stay-at-home stabilizer on the domestic front while the husband/father goes to work in the daytime.

"ABSTRACT
The proposed research project will explore the issue of stress experienced by working mothers in relation to family/work conflicts. The goals of the proposed research project are to (1) accurately identify the sources of anxiety and stress experienced by working mothers in relation to conflicts between family and organizational responsibilities, and (2) identify feasible organizational responses to the problem sources. The attainment of these goals will benefit working mothers, employing organizations, and society.
The proposed research will be cross-sectional in character. The cross-sectional approach will be used because it is desired to assess the stress related to family-work conflicts as that stress is experienced by women working at all hierarchical levels of an organization, .."

From the Paper
"Working mothers are faced with the need to balance work and family. Often, working mothers experience problems both at work and at home. The husbands and children of working women often have difficulties in adjusting to the situation. Working mothers are also faced with the problems of obtaining adequate day-care for their younger children. Many experts agree that day-care is an important aspect in the life of the child. In order for a child to be both physically and emotionally healthy, its day-care facilities must provide a safe and positive environment. Researchers have noted that employees are less effective on the job if they are worried about their children. Therefore, Ellen Galinsky of the Families and Work Institute has claimed that "an employee may not be an effective worker if he or she is worried about child care" (White, 1991, p. D4). This shows that ..."

"Effects on Child Behavior of Mothers Working Outside The Home: A Literature Review
Introduction: Topic Identification
Recently, television and print media in the United States reported research by Mary Eberstadt (2001) indicating that the children of mothers who worked outside the home displayed behavioral problems far more frequently than the children of mother who stayed at home. Eberstadt (2001) concluded that the causal source of the problem was a combination of day care and an absence of maternal contact and supervision.
The issue reported by Eberstadt (2001) is important, and, while her findings may be valid, the failure of the media to fully identify her background and that of the journal that published her work indicates a need to explore the issue..."

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This study examines the situation confronting African-American single mothers in efforts to move from welfare to work. The hypothesis tested in this study holds that variations in educational skills, health status and access to child-care affect the employment outlook for African-American single mothers and, therefore, the probability that they will be able to successfully move from welfare to work. The relationships between variations in educational skills, health status and access to child-care for African-American single mothers are discussed in this chapter in both conceptual and operational contexts. Additionally, the interactive effects of the independent variables on the dependent variable also are discussed.
From the Paper
"Health risks, as an independent variable, are operationalized as ?high,? ?average,? and ?low,? as indicated in Figure 3. The classifications of health risks for an African American single mother reflect a combination of the effects of personal health problems, the health problems of the dependent children of an African American single mother, and the health problems of other members of the household of an African American single mother for whose welfare the African American single mother is to some extent responsible."

From the Paper
" The structure and function of the business corporation in America has changed over the history of the country as new markets developed, new technologies came into use, and new attitudes were created in government and society toward the relationship between business and the social structure. The business world of the nineteenth century was structured to respond to the market forces of that time, and the business corporation of the twentieth century has developed in response to changes in those same market forces. The business corporation has undergone an evolution, always in response to external forces and demands.
The way business corporations have developed in America is a reflection of the way America has developed. In the nineteenth century, unlimited growth always seemed possible, and this attitude continued into this century. It has recently been..."

"Mother to Mother", 2004.

Abstract
This paper provides a critical analysis of the book, "Mother to Mother", by Sindiwe Magona. The book, "Mother to Mother", is a touching and elegant story of race relations and misunderstanding in South Africa. The paper explains how the author bases her book on a true incident, but looks at it from the eyes of a mother who loves her son but recognizes his inadequacies. It states that the book is a devastating look at apartheid, violence, and anger in a society long split between black and white.
From the Paper
"This emotional book looks at both sides of a young white woman's murder in a black township in South Africa. The book begins with the haunting line "My son killed your daughter" (Magona 1), and that line grabs the reader from the beginning, and makes them want to learn more about the two families and their responsibilities to themselves, and the their community. The book covers only two days chronologically, but the author skillfully uses flashbacks to look back on her life and the life of her son, to illustrate the hatred and violence at work in South African society that created such a "monster" as her son and the other killers. The mother is not unaware that her child has turned into something she cannot control, but she is also aware that the lifestyle of poor blacks in a dominant white society has been the spark that created the fire under the murderers. Coming from a life without hope, how can they see anything else for themselves?"
