Özet:

 In the last three decades, the increasing number of studies examines the impact of maternal employment on daughters employment status. However, there is a limited number of qualitative studies which explore womens perceptions on maternal employment within social milieus. This research attempts to understand the working mothers daughters attitudes towards paid work in Turkey which goes through a unique development of womens employment. The research seeks to answer these two questions: 1 How did the working mothers daughters experience their mothers employment? 2 What do they think about their own work life? Data were collected by in-depth interviews with 21 working mothers and their daughters who were selected by purposive and snowball sampling techniques. Research findings show that the daughters experiences and attitudes towards employment differ in accordance with their mothers education, occupational status and social capital while all are working or consider to work. At the same time, most of the daughters mention about lost time with children. As working mothers daughters, they inherit the idea of the neccessity for women to work on the one hand; they have the idea of working mothers who miss the time to spend with children under the influence of an ideology of motherhood on the other hand.

 Son otuz yılda, annenin istihdam statüsünün kızının çalışmaya ilişkin pratiklerini nasıl etkilediğini araştıran çalışmalar artmıştır. Ancak, toplumsal bağlamlarla beraber kadınların düşüncelerinin derinlemesine incelendiği nitel araştırmalar azdır. Bu çalışma, kadın istihdamı konusunda özgün gelişmeler yaşanan Türkiye bağlamında, çalışan annenin kızlarının istihdam ile ilgili tutumlarını anlamaya çalışmaktadır. Bu araştırma iki soruya cevap aramaktadır: 1 Çalışan annelerin kızları, annelerinin çalışmasını nasıl deneyimlemişlerdir? 2 Bu kızlar, kendi çalışma hayatı ile ilgili neler düşünmektedirler? Araştırmanın verileri, amaçlı ve kartopu örnekleme teknikleriyle seçilen 21 çalışan anne ve onların kızlarıyla yapılan derinlemesine görüşmeler ile toplanmıştır. Araştırmanın sonucunda ise, çalışan annenin kızlarının hepsinin çalışıyor çalışmayı düşünüyor olmasıyla birlikte annelerinin eğitimi, mesleki statüsü ve sosyal sermayelerine göre deneyimlerinin ve çalışmaya ilişkin tutumlarının farklılaştığı görülmüştür. Aynı zamanda kızların çoğu çalışma hayatında bulunmak suretiyle kendi çocuklarından çaldıkları zamandan bahsetmişlerdir. Kızlar, çalışan bir annenin kızı olarak, bir yandan kadının çalışması gereğini devralmışlar diğer yandan annelik ideolojisinin etkisiyle çalışan annenin çocuğundan zaman çalarak çalıştığı fikrine sahip olmuşlardır.
