Career Barriers and Work Motivation among Employed Women in Different Fields

Abstract

The present study is about to explore the relationship between career barriers and work motivation among employed women in different fields (Teacher, Doctor, and Factory labor), along with that to find out the differences based on different demographic variables i.e., marital status, Age, and Field of work. 300 samples of employed women were taken from various fields (Teacher, Doctor, and Factory laborers) of the Hazara Division. Data was collected with the help of the Carrier Barrier Scale (CBS) and Work Preference Inventory (WPI) along with a demographic information sheet. The alpha coefficient of CBS and WPI were found satisfactory. Correlation analysis was used to find out the relationship between career barriers and work motivation. The finding indicated a non-significant negative relationship between CBS and WPI. Findings revealed that there are no significant differences between Factory Labor, Teachers, and Doctors groups on CBI and WPI. According, to Brown & Barossa (2001) a carrier barrier is any difficulty that blocks forward movement or any circumstance or situation that makes career growth difficult.
