Family structures on income and career satisfaction of managers in Singapore
Abstract
This study explores the impact of differential family structures on income and career satisfaction of managers in Singapore. A total of 225 managers who were MBA graduates from the three local universities were surveyed. Results of this study support Devanna’s (1988) assertions that marriage and children have positive effects on men’s career success. Family structures have significant effect on income but not career satisfaction of men. The satisfaction is derived from the higher income earned. Furthermore, significant results are shown between married and single women on level of income but insignificant on career satisfaction.
