Knowledge and culture have an important role in increasing the coverage of exclusive breastfeeding for infants aged 0-6 months. Based on the results of the survey directly obtained in the field, the coverage of exclusive breastfeeding for infants aged 0-6 months is low. The purpose of this study was to examine the low coverage of exclusive breastfeeding in the working area of the Meutulang Health Center, Panton Reu District, West Aceh Regency. The research method used is a qualitative method with an exploratory descriptive approach, namely conducting in-depth interviews, which aims to explore the reasons why mothers do not exclusively breastfeed their babies until the age of 6 months. The results showed that the knowledge of breastfeeding mothers was still lacking regarding understanding in exclusive breastfeeding, the attitude of breastfeeding mothers was still not sure about giving only breast milk. culture is very closely related to exclusive breastfeeding, where mothers hold on to ancestral cultures that are passed down from generation to generation such as the peucicap culture and the provision of complementary feeding is given to infants before the age of 6 months, which should only be given breast milk. The conclusion is that exclusive breastfeeding in the working area of the Meutulang Public Health Center is still low, as evidenced by the results of research that has been carried out where knowledge and culture have a strong influence which is then followed by the attitude and work of the mother. Suggestions are expected for health centers and related agencies to more often conduct counseling, outreach and education to the community, especially mothers about the importance of exclusive breastfeeding aged 0-6 months

“…Working mothers frequently struggle to balance their obligations as both parents and employees (Kadale et al, 2018). This has often required women to leave their careers to raise their children or at the very least to work fewer hours so they may stay at home with their children (Nguwi, 2022).…”

Burnout is recognized as a workrelated disorder by the World Health Organization (WHO) although it does not fall within the category of disease. However, there is a continuous argument in society in regard to burnout among stay-at-home moms and working moms. Some individuals argue that stay-at-home moms are more depressed and stressed than working moms. Conversely, there are also a few people who believe that working moms are worse than stay-at-home moms in terms of burnout.

“…Despite this noted increase, women entering the management space have traditionally had to battle a number of challenges (Yun et al, 2019). These include challenges at work (Abubaker and Bagley, 2016), challenges at home and the quest for balance with work (Kadale et al, 2018) and challenges that emanate from society and their ensuing impact on the health of women (Dizaho et al, 2016). Ultimately, all these challenges affect the career development of women (Kossek et al, 2017).…”

Purpose The purpose of this study is to investigate the challenges and resolution tactics of women middle managers in the South African public service. Design/methodology/approach A qualitative research approach using semi-structured interviews was used as a data collection technique. Narrative analysis was used with a sample of 20 women middle managers working within the South African public service. Findings Narratives of challenges faced by women middle managers in the South African public service included relational issues, with a subtle undermining of women managers, challenges rooted within the socio-cultural milieu – perversely undermining the experience of being a manager and challenges stemming from public service in general such as corruption, in turn, questioning the ability of women managers to handle such. In addressing these challenges, the women middle managers exercised three individual performative actions in response to the identified challenges. These include using direct confrontation, relying on networks for guidance and relying on indirect confrontation. Research limitations/implications Sample size challenges feature as a notable limitation including the research being conducted in only one political province of South Africa. Caution should be exercised when seeking to generalise the findings to other contexts. Practical implications Understanding the challenges and resolution tactics of women middle managers can be a useful precursor to management development interventions. Originality/value The study answers call for more processual career and management development studies that help understand not only challenges but also resolution strategies. This study illustrates both the difficulty of this and ensures opportunity for the advancement of women in management.
