Abstract—Managing work and family roles become a critical
issue due to changes in the lives of men and women. Hence,
understanding work and family roles is seriously important for
organization in helping employee to experience satisfaction in

psychometric adequacy of the constructs of self-esteem,
work-family enrichment and life satisfaction ii) to validate the
hypothesized interrelationships among the constructs of
self-esteem, work-family enrichment and life satisfaction among
nurses of public hospitals in Malaysia and iii) to examine the
likely mediation effect of work-family enrichment on
self-esteem-satisfaction relationship. Survey questionnaire was
administered to 689 married nurses of public hospitals in
Malaysia. A full structural modeling testing was utilized with
AMOS maximum likelihood estimation, supported the
hypothesized relationship. The results substantiated the
psychometric adequacy of the measure and produced a
good-fitting life satisfaction model among nurses.
