Abstract

In Indonesia, women who are married and employed still shoulder most domestic and care work, and the way they handle the line between job and home may shape how well they fare psychologically. Drawing on boundary theory and conservation of resources theory, this study tests whether boundary management (BM), measured as perceived boundary control, raises psychological well-being (PWB) both directly and by improving work–life balance (WLB). An online survey reached 300 married women employed in government, education, health, private firms, trade and services, or their own businesses in Rokan Hulu Regency, Riau, and the model was estimated with PLS-SEM in SmartPLS 4. BM was linked to higher WLB (β = 0.615) and higher PWB (β = 0.303), and WLB in turn predicted PWB (β = 0.473). The route through WLB was significant (β = 0.291; 95% CI 0.219–0.366) and made up close to half of the total effect, a pattern of partial mediation. Women who can decide how far work spills into family life report steadier roles and greater well-being. Predictable schedules and agreed limits on after-hours contact are practical ways for employers and local government to widen that control.
