KESEJAHTERAAN SUBJEKTIF PADA IBU BEKERJA: PERAN OPTIMISME DALAM PENGASUHAN DAN EFIKASI DIRI

The increasing participation of women in the workforce, as reported by data from the Central Bureau of Statistics (BPS), places working mothers in dual-role demands that may affect their psychological condition and subjective well-being. This condition highlights the importance of examining internal psychological factors that can support the well-being of working mothers. This study aims to explore and examine the relationship between parenting optimism and self-efficacy with the subjective well-being of working mothers. A quantitative approach with a correlational design was employed in this study. The sample consisted of 100 working mothers selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected using scales measuring subjective well-being, parenting optimism, and self-efficacy, each employing a four-point Likert format. Data analysis was conducted using multiple regression analysis. The results revealed that parenting optimism and self-efficacy were positively and significantly associated with the subjective well-being of working mothers (R = 0.302; R² = 0.091; p < 0.05). These findings indicate that both variables simultaneously contribute an effective 9.1% to the subjective well-being of working mothers.
