Impact of Resilience and Spirituality on Life Satisfaction among Women: Mediating Role of Self Esteem

Abstract

There is a dearth of research examining the link between life satisfaction and its antecedents (spirituality) through self-esteem as a mediator. Spirituality and resiliency are positively associated with life satisfaction in Western nations, according to a large body of current research. However, few researches have studied the effects of both resilience and spirituality on life happiness, with self-esteem serving as a mediator, among Indian women. This research used a quantitative approach comprising 513 questions as a sample. For data collection, an online survey was administered to working women in various sectors in the Kashmir portion of the Union Territory of J&K. Prior to data analysis, data cleaning was performed. SEM analysis validates all seven assumptions (structural equation modelling). This work has important academic and practical suggestions for many stakeholders.
