Abstract

        This study aims to investigate exploratory factors in online media and content design to promote women empowerment as mothers through Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA). The questionnaire consisted of 24 factors related to empowering women as mothers in online media. The target group comprised Thai women aged 18-60 years who have children aged 0-21 years and regularly use online media. Purposive sampling was employed to select the participants. The results identified four key components that support the empowerment of women as mothers in online media: (1) promoting mothers’ roles and decision-making within the family and society, (2) functions for creating and sharing content to foster user engagement, (3) networking and sharing parenting experiences, and (4) privacy control and content accessibility. The most significant components were content providing options for motherhood (component weight = 0.895) and content providing options for parenting (component weight = 0.873). These findings can serve as guidelines for designing online platforms for mothers, which should include features for sharing experiences, controlling privacy, and providing content that enhances mothers’ roles and decision-making within the family and society.
