The happiness of working mothers greatly affects the well-being of family. The objective of this study is to examine the happiness of working mothers in the stages of family life cycle of having: (a) the first child aged 0-35 month old; (b) the first child at pre-school age; (c) the first child at school age; (d) the first child at adolescent age; and (e) the first child who has married, by controlling the effect of work-family balance. Participants were 526 work-ing mothers with children and a working husband. Data were collected using the Happiness Scale and the Work-Family Balance Scale. Data were analyzed using ANCOVA. The results showed that there were differences in the happiness of working mothers at different stages of family life cycles (F = 2.55; p < .05). Working mothers with the first child at pre-school age had the highest level of happiness, whilst those with the married first child had the lowest level of happiness. The levels of working mothers’ happiness were mostly influ-enced by the level of work-family balance rather than family life cycle.
