Career Women Perception in Managing the Family Resilience (A Study in Faculty of Cultural Studies Universitas Brawijaya)

Abstract

This study is intended to find out the career women perception in managing the family resilience at the Faculty of Cultural Studies in Universitas Brawijaya. The perception is related to their ability to manage their tasks in public, domestic and neighborhood environment. This is a descriptive qualitative study, using twenty-five respondents as subjects of the study. The result shows that the perception of career women who work as lecturers and education staff in the FIB UB environment can be categorized into two groups, namely groups who are in structural positions and groups who do not have positions. The former, they have the perception of not having enough time to prepare breakfast for the family before leaving for work and dinner. While the latter, they still have time to prepare morning advice before leaving for work and dinner as an effort to manage family resilience. However, most of them (56%) have agreed that career advancement should be pursued. Regarding the obstacles of becoming career women, most of them have the same opinion that the most dominant factor that becomes an obstacle in carrying out multiple roles is not being able to manage time well either for career women who have served in structural or those who have not served in structural position.
