Abstract : The researcher examined the effects of gender, self-esteem, locus of control, person/organization fit, and spousal employment status on career success among 204 male and 98 female supervisors in five government agencies in Kuwait.Results show that females had significantly higher scores than males in terms of career success and self-esteem, but no significant differences were found on the measures of locus of control or person/organization fit. In addition, the data shows no statistically significant differences in career success scores among or between males and females showing either internal or external locus of control. However, the results do show that males who scored high on the measures of self-esteem and person/organization fit and whose wives were not employed had stronger perceptions of career success. Results of a multiple regression analysis suggest that self-esteem, spousal employment status, and person/organization fit explain approximately 10% of the total variance in males career success. Recommendations and suggestions for future research are discussed.
