Pathways to Female Job Satisfaction: Quantitative Analysis of Influencing Factors

Abstract

This study aims to investigate the impact of work-family conflict, non-physical work environment, and job stress on job satisfaction among female employees within a ceramic manufacturing organization. Employing a quantitative research design with hypothesis testing, a sample of 100 female employees from PT. Roman Ceramics International was surveyed using reliable and validated Likert-scale questionnaires. The data underwent rigorous statistical analysis, including multiple linear regression, determinant coefficient (R2), partial correlation coefficient, t-test, F-test, and classical assumption tests using SPSS version 18. The findings indicated that work-family conflict, non-physical work environment, and job stress collectively and individually influence employee job satisfaction. Notably, the competency variable emerged as the most influential factor. This research provides valuable insights into the complex dynamics affecting job satisfaction among female employees, offering implications for organizations seeking to enhance employee well-being and overall organizational performance.
