Mindfulness, Organizational Identification, Work-Life Balance, and Family Support in Female Happiness

Abstract

Happiness, a universally valued and significant positive emotional state, is essential for a meaningful and fulfilling existence in the workplace across cultures. The present chapter explores the interconnected effect of mindfulness, organizational identification, work-life balance, and family support on employee happiness at the workplace. The study surveyed 385 married working women in the Indian banking and IT industry, and the data was analyzed using PLS SEM 4. Further, the bootstrapping method was also employed to assess the significance of the relationships between variables. The study revealed that all the examined factors have a positive and significant impact on the happiness of the Indian female workforce. The findings provide useful insights for organizations and policymakers to create inclusive and enlightened workplace cultures that prioritize the welfare of the female workforce, thereby enhancing their happiness, involvement, and proficiency. The chapter also discusses the theoretical implications as well as the limitations and potential avenues for future research.
