Abstract
The female labor force in Indonesia increased to 1.11%. After marriage, many women still choose to work due to economic factors, so they are referred to as working mothers. Based on interviews, there is a phenomenon in working mothers, namely work engagement. In work engagement, internal factors have a dominant role. Therefore, this study aims to look at internal factors that influence work engagement. Based on interviews, working mothers experience psychological capital and work-family enrichment. Previous studies state that psychological capital and work-family enrichment affect work engagement, but findings are inconsistent when analyzed by dimensions and subscales. With the increasing female workforce, this study examines whether psychological capital and work family enrichment influ-ence work engagement in working mothers. This study involved 113 work-ing mothers and used non-experimental quantitative techniques with online data collection. The Utrecht Work Engagement Scale, Psychological Capital Questionnaire, and Work-Family Enrichment Scale were used as measuring instruments. Data analysis was conducted using partial and simultaneous regression. Results showed that psychological capital and work-family enrichment play a beneficial role in work engagement (F = 36.960, p < 0.05). When viewed separately, psychological capital significantly affects work engagement (t = 0.591, p < 0.05), whereas work-family enrichment does not (t = 1.142, p > 0.05). Additionally, the psychological capital dimension with the greatest role in work engagement is hope. This study high-lights that psychological capital and work family enrichment influence work engagement in working mothers.
