The purpose of this study was to examine: 1) how psychological salience of father status, provider role attitudes, and family-friendly organizational culture influenced involvement with their children. 2) How fathers' provider role attitudes and workplace family-friendly culture have moderating effects on the relationship between salience of father status and paternal involvement. The participants were 204 full-time employed fathers who lived in Seoul and Gyeonggi-Do with at least one preschool child. Data was analyzed by hierarchical multiple regressions. The results were as follows; First, while psychological salience of father status and provider role attitudes did not significantly explain paternal involvement, workplace family-friendly culture significantly increased paternal involvement with their children. Second, the relationship between men’s perceived salience of father status and their involvement with children was moderated by provider role attitudes and organizational time demands, which was a subscale of family-friendly culture. More concretely, men whose level of provider role attitudes were the lowest showed the most active involvement with their children regardless of their salience of father status. Men who strongly perceived their providing role were more involved in child rearing only when they gave strong salience to father status. Meanwhile, fathers who felt low pressure of work hour were more involved with their children than who felt high pressure. Furthermore, when fathers experienced decreased organizational time demands, the effect of the salience of father status on paternal involvement was observed to increase. Findings were discussed in terms of implications for future research as well as practical efforts to increase paternal involvement.
