This study explored the mental health and job satisfaction of Ultra-Orthodox women who work in different cultural environments. Data were gathered from 304 Ultra-Orthodox women who belong to various streams in this society and who were recruited by the Midgam research panel. The participants filled out self-reported questionnaires that assessed their family quality of life, community sense of coherence, diversity climate, inclusive leadership, job satisfaction, and mental health. The participants ranged in age between 19 and 64 years ( = 30.86, = 8.71); 43.1% worked within the Ultra-Orthodox enclave, while 22.4% worked with both Ultra-Orthodox and secular individuals and 34.5% worked in mainly secular environments. We observed differences and similarities among the three groups of women. Community sense of coherence was weakest among those who worked outside the enclave, while diversity perception and inclusive leadership were highest among that group. In all three groups, family and community were the most important resources for mental health. Both traditional resources (i.e., family and community) and other resources (i.e., perception of diversity climate and inclusive leadership) were important for job satisfaction.
本研究探讨了在不同文化环境中工作的极端正统派女性的心理健康和工作满意度。数据来自于由 Midgam 研究小组招募的属于该社会各个流派的 304 名极端正统派女性。参与者填写了自我报告问卷，评估了他们的家庭生活质量、社区凝聚力、多样性氛围、包容型领导力、工作满意度和心理健康。参与者的年龄在 19 岁至 64 岁之间（平均值=30.86，标准差=8.71）；43.1%的人在极端正统派飞地工作，22.4%的人与极端正统派和世俗人士一起工作，34.5%的人主要在世俗环境中工作。我们观察到这三组女性之间的差异和相似之处。在飞地外工作的女性社区凝聚力最弱，而该群体对多样性的感知和包容型领导力最高。在所有三个群体中，家庭和社区是心理健康最重要的资源。传统资源（即家庭和社区）和其他资源（即对多样性氛围和包容型领导力的感知）对工作满意度都很重要。
