Abstract
Objectives This study aims to find out the structural relationship between work-family transition, daily life stress, and subjective happiness perceived by middle-aged married working women.
 Methods For this purpose, using the 8th data from the Women and Family Panel provided by the Korea Women's Policy Institute, 3,756 married middle-aged working women aged between 40 and 60 were surveyed on work-family conflict, family-work promotion, family-work conflict, and family. -Workplace facilitation was se-lected as an exogenous variable, and daily stress and subjective happiness were selected as endogenous variables. The collected data were subjected to structural equation testing using PLS-SEM using various statistical techniques (e.g. exploratory factor analysis, reliability analysis, convergent validity, and discriminant validity, etc.).
 Results The results are as follows. First, as middle-aged married working women's perception of work→family promotion increased, daily life stress decreased, and the higher the level of recognition for work→family conflict, family→workplace promotion, and family→workplace conflict, the higher daily life stress. Second, the higher the level of work→family facilitation perceived by middle-aged married working women, the higher the subjective happiness. Third, the higher the daily life stress perceived by middle-aged married working women, the lower the subjective happiness. Fourth, it was confirmed that daily life stress significantly mediates the relationship be-tween all sub-factors of work-family transition and subjective happiness.
 Conclusions Through the analysis of the results, the most important factor contributing to the improvement of daily life stress and subjective happiness of middle-aged married working women is work → family promotion. To improve their subjective happiness, it could be achieved through work-to-family transition strategy which con-tributes to the reduction of daily life stress; of which the most important goal strategy in promoting work→family needs to be established.
