Young women are striving hard to break the norms of patriarchal society and be an active member of the working population of Pakistan. However, the road to this achievement requires them to confront social gendered expectations and job-not-for-women attitudes. In urban areas of Pakistan, access to better education facilities and employment opportunities are enabling young women to showcase their talents. However, the decision to work outside the home along with their societal role expectations is challenging their subjective life experiences. Life satisfaction is a person’s conscious cognitive evaluation of life. The purpose of this paper was to assess life satisfaction of young women managers while validating the satisfaction with life instrument. Primary data collected from 337 Pakistani young women managers were analyzed, using confirmatory factor analysis. Measurement model analysis showed that life satisfaction has a one-factor structure. The reliability of the scale was also found to be good. Consistent with the earlier studies, these results confirmed that life satisfaction is a unidimensional construct in the context of women managers in Pakistan.
