Abstract

The primary purpose of the present investigation was to examine the perceived self-efficacy of working and non-working women in the context of involvement. An attempt was also made to examine the association between self-efficacy and wellbeing. The study adopted a two (working and non-working) × two (involved and less-involved) factorial design. A total of 240 women (120 working and 120 non-working) participated in the study. The non-working women were categorised into involved and less-involved subgroups on the basis of the median split of their scores on family involvement. However, working women were categorised into similar subgroups on the basis of combined scores of their family and work involvements. The participants of all fourgroups were compared with respect to their perceived self-efficacy. The result indicated working women's higher self-efficacy compared with non-working women. Similarly involved women showed more self-efficacy than non-involved women. The result also revealed a strong association between self-efficacy and wellbeing.
