Abstract	This study employed the ecological systems perspective and gender ideology theory to examine the influence of fathers' paid work-family crossover and family involvement on self-reports of work-family balance by employed mothers with children under the age of 13 (N = 179). Multiple regression analyses revealed that fathers' crossover factors had a significant influence on mothers' perceptions of successful work-family balance. Mothers reported lower levels of work-family balance when fathers brought more stress from work to home. Mothers with more traditional gender ideologies reported higher levels of work-family balance when the father had a flexible job and when he was more involved in child care. (Contains 3 tables.)
