| Your Parents May Be Responsible For Job Problems: Study

| Parents, take note! If your kids have problems at work, you may be responsible to some extent for the trouble, according to a new study which found a link between parenting styles and workplace behaviour.
"It really is about both parents, but because mothers are typically the primary caregivers of the children, they usually have more influence on their children," said Peter Harms from University of Alabama in the US.
Researchers studied manager-employee relationships in the workplace and found a link between parenting styles and workplace behaviour.
Their research was based on the work of John Bowlby, an early psychoanalyst, who argued that the way parents treat their offspring could have long-term implications for how their children approach relationships.
In particular, the work focused on how parents acted when their infants cried out for help. "You will see this in almost any parenting book you buy. Should you let the baby cry, or should you rush to comfort them," said Harms.
Babies learn over time that when they feel abandoned or threatened they can either count on their parent to come to their rescue right away or they need to escalate to high levels of distress in order to get attention.
Or, if babies learn that parents are not a reliable source of comfort, they stop making overt appeals for help. Individuals with reliable parents view others as potential sources of support. Those individuals with unreliable parents tend not to see parents as sources of support, researchers said.
These people are often categorised as having anxious or avoidant attachment depending on the style they adopted to cope with distress, they said.
"Anxiously attached people genuinely want to be loved, but they are nervous that the important people in their lives will not return their affection," said Harms.
"They overreact anytime they think their relationships are threatened.
