To empirically examine the influence of organizational support on employee well-being during menopause, and to determine the extent to which financial stress moderates this relationship

Abstract

This study explores how organizational support relates to the workplace well-being of menopausal women employed in private healthcare organizations, while also examining the moderating role of financial stress. Menopause often brings physical, emotional, and psychological challenges that can affect women’s work experiences, particularly in demanding healthcare settings. The study focuses on 318 support staff women aged 45–60 working in private hospitals across Delhi NCR, with the sample size determined using G*Power. Data were collected using standardized tools, including the Perceived Well-being Scale, Economic Strain Scale, and Perceived Organizational Support Survey (Eisenberger et al., 1986). The findings indicate that supportive organizational practices significantly enhance the well-being of menopausal women in the workplace. However, financial stress was found to weaken the positive effects of organizational support, suggesting that economic strain can limit the benefits of even supportive work environments. The study highlights the need for workplace policies that address both menopausal health concerns and financial challenges. Such integrated support can foster more inclusive, empathetic, and effective workplaces, ultimately improving women’s overall well-being and work experience.
