A number of major studies of occupational stress have examined purportedly highly stressful jobs such as air traffic controllers, police officers, and military personnel. Little is known about the stress, satisfaction, and physical well-being associated with the job of homemaking. The present study examined the question: Are homemaking tasks more stressful, less satisfying, and more physically upsetting for full-time or part-time homemakers? A total of 307 randomly selected full-time and part-time homemakers answered the research question. In general, full-time homemakers are more stressed by children, domestic work conditions, and role issues than part-time homemakers. The part-time homemakers were more stressed by the lack of sharing in tasks exhibited by spouses or others than were the full-time homemakers. Generally both groups were satisfied (measured by the Minnesota Satisfaction Questionnaire) with the homemaker job. A few differences were found in physical health and well being but no distinct pattern of superiority of one group over the other was identified. Some suggestions for future research on homemakers are presented
