The effect of family support on university teachers’ career success: a moderated mediation model

Elsevier, Teaching and Teacher Education, Volume 172, April 2026
This study investigates how family support influences career success among Chinese university teachers, employing a moderated mediation model. Results from 348 faculty surveys show that family support boosts career success both directly and indirectly through time management and career adaptability individually, though not sequentially. Work-to-family conflict negatively moderates these relationships. Gender differences exist: family support directly affects women's career success, while for men, its effect is fully mediated by time management and career adaptability.

While community volunteerism is widely perceived as feminized, informal, and devalued labor, women actively construct, negotiate, and sometimes challenge the meanings of volunteer roles. Drawing on three months of ethnographic fieldwork in two women-led community volunteer groups in Beijing, this research shows that women navigate gendered expectations by building civic networks, formalizing their practices, and leveraging political identities.
