“…Career success demands an individual employee to devote and manage their work-life in a more self-directed manner (Lee et al 2016;Mas-Machuca et al 2016). It is vital to examine the social contexts in measuring career success factors related to employee work-life balance (Ferreira et al 2020). Similarly, the associations between career commitment, career success, and work-life balance are likely to have different meanings in emerging Asia economies.…”

This study examines the relationship between career commitment and employee career success (objective and subjective success) in middle-level employees working in the service sector. Further, the study investigates the moderating effect of work-life balance on the relationship between career commitment and career success. By analyzing data from 360 middle level working employees, our empirical results show that career commitment has a positive and significant effect on the objective and subjective career success of employees. Work-life balance positively moderates the relationship between career commitment and subjective career success, whereas it fails to moderate the relationship between career commitment and objective career success. The study contributes by providing a better understanding of the employee’s perception of career commitment and career success and their management in emerging markets. Avenues for future research are identified.

“…In our opinion, for the purposes of state policy aimed at achieving a balance between the formation and development of human capital, attention should be paid to the concept of sustainable development of human capital. This concept is appropriate for managing it at both the micro and macro levels [2]. The concept of sustainable development of human capital emphasizes a fair attitude towards its bearer, the need to take care of its development, health and well-being, supports environmentally friendly organizational practices, and is focused on work-life balance [20].…”

The concept of human capital through the prism of international economic relations and the problem of achieving sustainable development goals are considered in this paper. The value of HCI in the system of assessing the prospects for the development of human capital at the global level is shown. The characteristics of the relationship between HCI components and sustainable development goals are given. The analysis of the ranking of the countries of the world by the HCI is given. The features of the BRICS countries are revealed: despite the high potential for the development of human capital, it is not always used effectively, which is reflected in the implementation of the program to achieve sustainable development goals. It is shown that in modern conditions, the concept of sustainable development of human capital is of decisive methodological importance. It is based on the need to maintain a balance of various spheres of human life, reflecting, in fact, the quality of his life. The COVID-19 pandemic has strengthened the importance of anchoring the principles of this concept at the global level.

“…Among these, De Cuyper et al [ 32 ] identified a significant relationship between life satisfaction and work engagement. Subsequently, Ferreira et al [ 33 ] underlined that work engagement can be related to other aspects of workers’ lives besides their job and organizational roles, because working life is a part of the wider personal life, as demonstrated by studies on work-life balance.…”

Attitude toward smart working reflects feelings of favorableness towards this object; attitudes influence intentions, which in turn guide behaviors. Recent research confirms the positive influence that attitude toward smart working has on expected usage of it. Despite a direct influence, other factors could interact in the context of opportunities for ICT usage for teleworkers; among these factors, work engagement stands out. In turn, work engagement influences the perception of job satisfaction and life satisfaction. Considering that literature suggests that among the antecedents of work engagement are attitudes, the present study analyzes the role of positive attitude towards smart working on work engagement, and consequently on job satisfaction and on life satisfaction, hypothesizing that work engagement could mediate between positive attitude towards smart working and job and life satisfaction. The participants were 342 workers (115 males and 227 females) in private and public organizations, aged 24 to 66 years. The results showed that a positive attitude towards smart working, along with work engagement as a mediator, positively influences job satisfaction and life satisfaction. This means that employers and human resources managers (HRM) can organize training sessions to enhance the positive attitude toward smart working and this can help workers feel more engaged and satisfied.
