Abstract

The present work determines the relationship between managerial support and career consequence in work-family conciliation, in the retail sector in Chile. A questionnaire was applied, after certification of the scientific ethics committee to a random sample, stratified, and by networks, under the snowball procedure. For the processing of data, it was decided to apply exploratory factor analysis through robust parallel analysis, by unweighted least squares and direct oblimin rotation. Finally, the factors were modeled by structural analysis confirmed by relevant goodness-of-fit indices. Among the results, two factors of managerial support and a factor of career consequence were determined and were confirmed by high and significant factorial loads. It is concluded that the principles of the work-family culture confirm the incidence of managerial support on career consequences and act reducing the adverse effects on the consequences of career and, therefore, reduce the possible tendencies of work-family conflict.
