Abstract: Abstract This chapter develops a model based on role theory and the conservation of resources (COR) theory to examine the influence of work-level (work schedule flexibility (WSF) and role ambiguity (RA); family-level spousal support (SS) and individual-level core self-evaluations (CSEs) factors on work–family conflict and job satisfaction amongst women entrepreneurs. Self-administered survey questionnaires were used to collect data from participants in regions of Malaysia. Using the partial least squares approach, SS and CSEs exhibited significant positive relationships with work–family conflict, whilst RA, SS and work–family conflict had a positive influence on job satisfaction. It was found that SS and CSEs on job satisfaction were mediated by work–family conflict. This study contributes to knowledge and practice by providing novel insights to multiple stakeholders in Malaysia.
