Occupational Stress and Its Impact on Working Mothers During the COVID-19 Pandemic
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Through discourse analysis methodology of an online forum and a review of the existing literature, this chapter aims to examine the interceding role of work and the moderating role of resilience in the relationship between occupational stress and well-being of working mothers during the COVID-19 pandemic. While work and family are pertinent in a woman's life, she is faced with a dilemma: to either be a full-time worker or a full-time mother; yet, she tries to balance the two, which in turn subjects her to stress, both at work and inside the domestic sphere. Not only do mothers have to manage the home, but they also have to manage/maintain their jobs. Yet, adhering to this hope of the work/life balance affects a working mother's ability to maintain paid employment or gain a promotion because she has to, at times, prioritize taking care of her children in the face of high work stress. At the same time, high work stress may be problematic, resulting in neglect. (Working mothers may be forced to dedicate time to work for fear of getting fired and ignore the needs of their children.)

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
