Özet:

 


Purpose - There was a slight increase of women in Malaysia’s labor force in 2016. However, there are still some deep-rooted mind-sets that women are not proficient to be at the top of the corporate ladder. Women in many countries including Malaysia consistently face barriers in their career advancement as most of the top management are dominated by males. Therefore, this exploratory study examines the relationship between work-life balance, mentoring support and networking towards women’s career advancement in Malaysia.

Methodology - This survey uses convenient sampling methodology to conduct the survey of 110 female employees in Malaysia. Pearson Moment Correlation Coefficient and Multiple Regression Test were used to analyze the correlation between the independent and dependent variables.

Findings - The finding of the results shows that all three independent variables, work-life balance, mentoring support, and networking are positively correlated with the dependent variable, women career advancement.

Conclusion- Work-life balance, mentoring support, and networking is a crucial factor that affects the advancement of female in the workforce in Malaysia. Therefore, future surveys and organizations should focus on women career advancement as the Malaysia government has strived to increase the participation of female in the workforce.
