Through the lens of the conservation of resources (COR) theory and gender-role perspective, this research investigates the effect of work-family conflict (WFC) on positive discipline parenting (PDP) via well-being among working mothers in Indonesian public organizations. A total of 218 mothers who worked in public organizations such as schools and hospitals were selected as participants. All participants had children attending schools from elementary to senior high school. Data were collected online with a three-wave data collection technique and analyzed using IBM SPSS AMOS ver. 26 and Hayes’ PROCESS macro on SPSS ver. 26. The results showed that WFC directly reduced the mothers’ PDP or indirectly lowered their well-being. In Indonesia, mothers are responsible for child-rearing and working in public organizations can cause resource imbalance. Scholars and practitioners should consider the existence of WFC and how it influences working mothers in public organizations. This study is among a few studies investigating WFC’s impact on working mothers’ well-being and parenting. © The Author(s) 2023.
