Exploration of the Mediation Role of Work Engagement and Work Family Enrichment in Working Mothers

Women often face conflicts when deciding to continue working after having children. Despite making a significant contribution to the economy, many choose to quit their jobs due to role conflicts. This study aims to expand the literature on work-family relationships experienced by working mothers, focusing on the mediating role of work-family enrichment and work engagement, as well as job crafting as an antecedent. The research method uses a survey with questionnaires that include job crafting, work engagement, and work-family enrichment. This study uses data from 169 working mothers using a sampling technique in the form of convenience sampling. The data were analyzed using simple linear regression analysis to test the relationship between job crafting, work engagement, and work-family enrichment. Furthermore, a simple mediation analysis was used to test the role of mediation in work engagement and work-family enrichment. The results show the importance of job crafting in increasing work engagement and work-family enrichment. This study also explores the role of mediation in work-family enrichment and work engagement in relation to job crafting. These findings can help develop strategies and programs that support women in maintaining work engagement while considering their family roles.
