Abstract

The aim of the present paper is to investigate hypotheses pertaining to the determinants of career success between men and women executives in Sabah. Three measures of career success, self-confidence, organization's structure of opportunity and supportive relationship were employed as determinants of career success and gender and age act as moderators. Questionnaire data was collected from 150 administrative full-time employees of private sector in the Kata Kinabalu, Sabah Seven hypothesis were used. Results provided modest support for the differential predictive power of the above predictors of career success for men and women. These variables were able to explain that 14.5 percent variances in career success amongst the executive's employees of the private sector. The main results suggested that organization's structure of opportunity was a more powerful determinant of women career success, whereas self-confidence and supportive relationship was a more powerful determinant for men's career success. Nevertheless, career success was not moderated by gender and age variables. It is hope that this research will benefit the human capital development for the private sectors. The implications of these findings are discussed, together with avenues for further research.
