A number of studies conducted by researchers from various countries have explored the role of social capital and self-resilience. However, the results of the research have not focused on the well-being of diasporas abroad. In addition, the results of the research are still partial or not done simultaneously. This study seeks to fill the existing gap by conducting comprehensive research to reveal the role of the two variables on diaspora well-being. The research sample was 32 Indonesian diasporas in Taiwan. The data collection instrument uses a questionnaire distributed using Google Form which has met good validity and reliability. The questionnaire instruments used were social capital (MS=15 items), resilience (RL=35 items), and well-being (WB=16 items). Social capital has four indicators, namely, organization/group, network, trust and solidarity, togetherness, and the involvement of group members. Resilience has seven indicators, namely, emotional regulation, impulse control, empathy, optimism, causal analysis, self-efficacy, and reaching out. Well-being consists of five indicators, namely, satisfaction and happiness, motivation and involvement, feelings of acceptance and support, achievement and success, and identity and authenticity. The collected data were analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) with the help of JASP software. The results of the analysis show that social capital and self-resilience partially and simultaneously play a role or have a significant and positive effect on diaspora well-being. The amount of influence simultaneously is (62.9%). This positive influence means that the increase in social capital and resilience together will have an effect on increasing diaspora well-being. These findings provide valuable insights for diasporas who are and who want to continue their studies or work abroad to make social capital and resilience a bridge in adapting while abroad. © 2025 Malque Publishing.
