Differences In Healthy Self-regulation Among Working Mothers According To Employment Type (full-time Vs. Part-time) : A Quantitative Comparative Study



Authors : Khellaf Asma .

Abstract

This study aimed to explore the level of healthy self-regulation among working mothers and to identify potential differences based on work schedule (full-time vs part-time). A total of 84 working mothers participated, and the Healthy Self-Regulation Scale was used. Data were analysed using descriptive statistics and the Mann–Whitney U test. The results indicated that the level of healthy self-regulation among participants leaned towards the upper-moderate range, with a mean score of 87.20 (SD = 14.63). More importantly, no statistically significant differences were found between full-time (M = 85.74, SD = 15.35) and part-time working mothers (M = 88.49, SD = 14.03), with U = 780.00 and p = 0.384. These findings suggest that working mothers maintain a reasonable capacity to manage their health, regardless of work schedule. The absence of significant differences challenges common assumptions about the impact of working hours and underscores the role of factors such as coping strategies, personal flexibility, and social support. The study recommends further research to explore these variables more deeply, using qualitative or longitudinal methods to better understand the phenomenon. Non-significant results may offer valuable directions for future investigation.
