- Abstract
In families, mothers play a role in doing household chores and taking care of the child. However, there are some mothers who choose to work for several reasons. As a working mother, there are some positive impacts such as improving family incomes, increases psychological well-being, and tend to adopt authoritative parenting. However, if they can’t hold these tasks and responsibilities, it can cause fatigue, stress, or even depression in working mothers. These negative conditions can affect their parenting self-efficacy. Parenting self-efficacy can be defined as a sense of confidence or competence to perform parenting tasks. This belief is one of the factors that can influence mother’s behavior towards child. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to provide an overview of full-time working mother’s parenting self-efficacy in Jakarta, Bogor, Depok, Tangerang, and Bekasi (Jabodetabek). This quantitative research involved 150 full-time working mothers in Jabodetabek whose have at least one child ages 3-12 years old. The results showed that 86% of participants have high parenting self-efficacy. Moreover, this study shows that there are statistically significant differences between participants based on child age and the presence of child caregivers.
