This study is a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) aimed at identifying and synthesizing factors that influence life satisfaction among working women based on empirical evidence from previous research. Employing an SLR design guided by the PRISMA 2020 protocol, literature searches were conducted across three primary databases: Google Scholar (via Publish or Perish), ScienceDirect (Elsevier), and SpringerLink. From 652 initially identified articles, 20 final articles from five countries (Indonesia, Malaysia, China, the United States, and India) met all eligibility criteria. Narrative synthesis findings consistently identified that factors influencing life satisfaction among working women include: (1) work-life balance; (2) social support (family, partner, and organization); (3) work-family conflict; (4) workload; and (5) work flexibility. Among these, work-life balance emerged as the most consistent and significant predictor of life satisfaction, found in 80% of the analyzed studies. These findings reinforce the Subjective Well-Being Theory (Diener, 1984), Conservation of Resources Theory (Hobfoll, 1989), and Spillover Theory, while providing an empirical foundation for developing psychological interventions and organizational policies that support the well-being of working women.
