Abstract

This study examined whether work interference with family (WIF) and family interference with work (FIW) were associated with fear of success among female bank employees in Indonesia. A quantitative correlational design was used with 167 married or previously married participants selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected using the Fear of Success Scale and the Work-Family Conflict Scale and analyzed through multiple linear regression. The findings showed that WIF and FIW were jointly associated with fear of success, F(2, 164) = 25.40, p < .001, explaining 23.7% of the variance. WIF was positively associated with fear of success, whereas FIW was not uniquely associated with it after controlling for WIF, although FIW was significantly correlated with fear of success at the bivariate level (r = .386, p < .001). These results suggest that work-related demands showed a stronger unique association with concerns about career success than family-related demands. Banking organizations may therefore benefit from reducing work-to-family interference through realistic workloads, flexible schedules, supportive promotion policies, and childcare support.
