Family Social Capital and Life Satisfaction Among Working Women: Mediating Role of Work

Abstract

A few studies have examined the factors that contribute to women's life satisfaction in the workplace. Some researchers have taken a gendered approach to this problem, arguing that stress and work–life balance has an effect on women's life satisfaction. This paper makes an important effort to investigate the link between family social capital (FSC) and life satisfaction among working women through the mediating influences of stress and work–life balance. Non-probability sampling was used to contact working women in the Northern Indian Region. The regression analysis showed that all the research hypotheses are supported. This work has made significant implications for scholars and practitioners. Unlike previous studies, this work has measured FSC as a multi-dimensional construct (family support, family interactions, family cohesion, and lack of family conflict). The results obtained are reliable and valid. This work can help academicians and practitioners to get a unique insight into the domain of FSC and life satisfaction.
