The Influence of Work–Life Balance and Perceived Organizational Support on Subjective Well-Being through Psychological Empowerment of Female Workers in Multinational Companies Jakarta

The increase in female employee participation in multinational companies brings challenges related to work-family balance and the need for adequate organizational support. This study aims to analyze the influence of Work-Life Balance (WLB) and Perceived Organizational Support (POS) on Subjective Well-Being (SWB) with Psychological Empowerment (PE) as a mediating variable among female employees in multinational companies in Jakarta. A quantitative approach was used with a cross-sectional survey design targeting female workers of productive age who had been employed for at least one year. The research instruments included the Work–Life Balance Scale, Survey of Perceived Organizational Support, Psychological Empowerment Scale, and Subjective Well-Being Index. The analysis was conducted using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). The results show that WLB and POS have a significant positive effect on SWB, both directly and indirectly through PE. In addition, the mediating role of PE is predicted to strengthen this relationship, particularly in the context of high workloads and competitive multinational work cultures. These findings are expected to contribute theoretically to the study of female worker well-being and provide practical implications for companies in designing more gender-responsive work policies, supporting empowerment, and improving the quality of employees' working lives.
