Zusammenfassung:The current study examines the relationship between work-family demands and the subjective well-being of female academicians. It analyses the role of religiosity as a moderator of work-family demands and well-being. The determinants of work-family demands included in this research are workload, log working hours, irregular work schedule, number of children and their ages, and time spent on family activities. The researcher sampled 300 female academic staff employed in research universities in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Their ages ranged from 30 to 60 years. The findings show that there is a negative and significant relationship of work-family demands with well-being. There is also a positive and significant relationship between religiosity and female well-being, where religiosity increases employee well-being. Thus, religiosity has a moderating effect on work-family demands and Muslim women's well-being.
