Abstract

This study examines the impact of psychosocial factors on Work-Family Life Balance (WFB) among parents of children with special needs. The study focuses on three key factors: financial well-being, community support, and problem-solving skills. The data gathered from 100 parents by Purposive Sampling was analyzed quantitatively using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). The results show that community support (T-statistic = 4.517, p = 0.000) and problem-solving skills (T-statistic = 2.533, p = 0.012) have a statistically significant positive effect on family life balance. In contrast, financial well-being (T-statistic = 1.566, p = 0.118) had no significant effect on WFB. These results demonstrate the importance of social support and problem-solving skills in helping parents juggle the responsibilities of parenting children with special needs. While financial stability remains important, community support was found to be the most influential factor in achieving a balanced family life. The study highlights the necessity of family support networks to better support parents and adds to the body of knowledge on inclusive education policy. To improve the generalizability of the findings, future studies should examine the long-term impacts of these variables and consider a wider range of groups.
