Research demonstrates that social status is a significant predictor of life satisfaction, both directly and via its mediating effect on life satisfaction's antecedents. Thus, the proposed study approach posits that social status mediates the association between life satisfaction and its two variables (optimism and perceived social support). Moreover, such research has mostly been conducted in Western contexts, necessitating research in India. In addition, our effort focuses on women, since they suffer a number of health-related issues that need investigation. This research used a quantitative and causal approach. This research comprised 513 questions as a sample. For data collection, an online survey was administered to working women in various sectors in the Union Territory of J&K. SEM analysis validates all seven assumptions (structural equation modelling). This work provides vital implications for many stakeholders.
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.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
