“…In previous Korean studies, organizational-level meso factors including limited advancement opportunities, discrimination ( Powell, 2018 ; Gauci et al, 2022 ), and harassment ( Fielden and Hunt, 2014 ; Cortina and Areguin, 2021 ) have also been reported ( Hong and Gye, 2016 ; Quan and Shim, 2022 ). Even at the global level, numerous studies have documented that especially working mothers struggle under a gendered organizational atmosphere ( Cahusac and Kanji, 2014 ; Stone and Lovejoy, 2019 ) where traditionally masculine modes of working are the norm ( Noh et al, 2012 ; Cook et al, 2022 ).…”

IntroductionRelatively little research has explored non-Western women workers and their career transitions within their unique cultural contexts. Thus, more context-sensitive approaches to women’s career trajectories are needed.MethodsBased on Bian and Wang’s Career Decision Tree Model (2019) as a conceptual framework, the reasons for South Korean women workers’ career transitions and influencing factors were explored using a qualitative approach with in-depth interviews with 35 South Korean women workers at various career stages.Results and DiscussionTheir main motive of career transitions was difficulty maintaining their physical and mental health, which stemmed from their demanding work life. A typical issue, the burden of child rearing and family responsibilities, was also reported, but it was not the primary reason for their career transitions. Instead, the women workers often mentioned these responsibilities along with other reasons. Other reasons were unresolved career interests and expectations associated with their lack of career goals and preparation prior to joining the labor market. These factors led to significant changes in women’s values and priorities along their career path, which finally triggered a decision to make a career transition. South Korean socio-cultural characteristics embedded in the South Korean women’s personal and organizational lives provide insights on how to interpret the findings. Although on the surface some of our findings appeared to confirm previous studies on women’s career transitions in Western-based literature, noteworthy differences were discovered when delving deeper into women’s career transitions in the South Korean context.
