Abstract EN
Working wives have become obvious partners in the progress of societies, beside of their recognized household responsibilities.
Such multiple roles probably affect negatively their satisfaction with life.
The current research aimed to study the impacts of the conflicting roles of the Egyptian wife on her satisfaction with life.
The research presents a satisfaction pyramid model to achieve this objective.
The base of the pyramid comprises (1) the motivation and readiness for the role (2) family support (3) effective communication, while the summit of the pyramid comprises the satisfaction with life.
Data collection was done through personal communications with 400 working and non-working wives.
The study followed the descriptive analytical method.
The results showed that there was no significant difference in life satisfaction between working and non-working wives in the different subscales of the satisfaction measurement.
However, the levels of life satisfaction varied significantly according to the wives’ career.
Life satisfaction of wives increased with increasing the age level up to 40-50 years old; afterwards, significant reductions occurred.
Socioeconomic status of the family also played positive significant influences on the levels of life satisfaction.
Satisfaction with "readiness and motivation", "family support", and "effective communication" were significantly correlated with "life satisfaction”.
Such a result verifies the success of the scale used for describing life satisfaction of the Egyptian wives.
