Correlation analysis and regression analysis methods were deployed to determine the relationship among the variables and determine the independent variables' effect on the dependent variable, respectively. The correlation analysis result confirmed that employees’ career success has a positive correlation with employees’ work-family balance practice, while it associates negatively with work-related and family-related factors/challenges.
