Abstract Societal happenings of women's lives showcase an array of responsibilities being performed by them, including their chores and associative chores of their family members, etc. Inter-role conflict, self-efficacy, and home environment are critical factors influencing the mental health and well-being of women, particularly during early adulthood (ages 20 to 40). This study investigates the interplay between these variables among homemakers and employed females, exploring how conflicting role demands impact their psychological health and ability to manage responsibilities effectively. The study found that homemakers reported significantly higher self-efficacy (M = 36.88) than employed individuals (M = 34.45, p < .001), suggesting greater perceived control over responsibilities (Bandura, 1997). However, no significant difference was found in role conflict between the two groups (p = .120), indicating that both experience similar levels of work-family dynamics (Greenhaus & Beutell, 1985; Kossek & Ozeki, 1998). Employed individuals reported a significantly more positive family environment (M = 437.57) compared to homemakers (M = 427.21, p < .001), possibly due to financial stability and structured time management (Bronfenbrenner, 1986; Perry-Jenkins et al., 2013). These findings suggest that employment status influences self-efficacy and family environment but does not significantly impact role conflict.
