Understanding Women Employees’ Satisfaction in the Automotive Sector: Challenges in a Male-Dominated Field

Grace Amin, Brigitha Queenkesya Henakin

Abstract


The rising participation of women in the workforce has recently become a topic of
significant debate, particularly regarding the intricate balance between professional and
familial responsibilities. This study seeks to elucidate the effects of workload stress,
perceived organizational support, and work-family conflict on work-life balance, with job
satisfaction as a mediating variable. Utilizing Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) to
analyze data from 254 valid respondents, the research tested ten hypotheses. Out of these,
four hypotheses were substantiated, while six were not supported. Specifically, the
hypotheses concerning the impact of perceived organizational support on work-life
balance, the effect of work-life balance on job satisfaction, and the role of perceived

organizational support in influencing job satisfaction—both directly and through work-
life balance—were not validated.

Keywords: Workload, Perceived Organizational Support, Work-family conflict, Work-life balance, Job
satisfaction.
