Abstract
This study investigates the influence of subjective well-being on self-employment moderated by personal functioning variables. The happiness index based on the level of education in groups of people without formal education is in the low category. This condition will not change if there is no improvement in self-employment and personal functioning in those groups. Excellent self-employment can be expressed by considering education a priority for every community with a positive impact. To obtain data on subjective well-being in Indonesia, researchers used a descriptive quantitative method on 30 respondents observed directly and virtually. The data collection process used a cross-sectional survey approach. The data collected were analyzed with multiple regression methods using SPSS software. Based on data analysis results, self-employment has partial influences on subjective well-being. Furthermore, personal functioning influences subjective well-being. Finally, this study found the simultaneous effect of self-employment and personal functioning on subjective well-being. The influence of self-employment on subjective well-being is smaller than that of personal functioning. Thus, efforts to develop personal functioning to improve subjective well-being are more vital. This research has a novelty in testing the simultaneous self-employment and personal functioning of subjective well-being because previous researchers did not mention the size of the influence. However, this study is weak in not examining the relationship between self-employment and personal functioning. Therefore, further researchers need to conduct this research to find the connection.
