Abstract
This study conducts an in-depth exploration of the ways career orientation is related to life satisfaction by considering job satisfaction as a mediator and self-efficacy as a moderator. The study sample comprised 204 married women employees recruited in China through a self-reported survey. We found that married women employees’ career orientation was positively related to life satisfaction through job satisfaction, and such an indirect influence was significant when they possessed high levels of self-efficacy. The current research contributes to the collective understanding regarding how and when married women employees’ career orientation results in life satisfaction.
