The Relationship between Work-Family Conflict, Career Success Orientation and Career Development among Working Women in Indonesia

Abstract

This study is aimed to analyze the relationship between work-family conflict on career success orientation and career development. This study used 180 career women respondents in the governorÂ’s office in East Nusa Tenggara Province, Indonesia. Qualitative and quantitative data from primary and secondary sources were collected by distributing questionnaires to the respondents. Purposive sampling was applied, and the data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential analysis of Partial Least Square. The result shows that work-family conflict does not significantly affect womenÂ’sÂ’ career development but significantly affects the career success orientation. Also, career success orientation significantly affects womanÂ’s career development. This study further reveals that career success is a strategic orientation as a mediation role between work-family conflict and womanÂ’s career development. Based on the models, this study indicates that 50.06% (Q2-predictive relevance) in the variation of the career development can be explained by career success orientation and work-family conflict.
