Item IMPACT OF SELF-ESTEEM ON CAREER SUCCESS: THE MEDIATION ROLE OF SHAME(Department of Human Resource Management, Faculty of Commerce and Management Studies, University of Kelaniya, Sri Lanka., 2025) Upashani H.P.C.; Karunarathne, R.A.I.C.Career success is a key outcome for individuals and organizations, and self-esteem is an indicator of career success. However, the emotional challenge of individuals, specifically shame, can potentially influence this dynamic. While studies have explored the relationship between career success and self-esteem, few look at the mediating role of shame, especially in Sri Lanka. This study aims to examine the impact of self-esteem on career success through the mediating effect of shame. A quantitative research design was used, and data were collected using structured questionnaires from 120 executive-level employees in the food manufacturing industry in Sri Lanka. Hypotheses were examined through linear regression analysis and mediation testing using Andrew F. Hayes's process software in SPSS. The findings validate that self-esteem has a positive strong influence on career success, confirming that individuals with higher self-esteem can achieve better work outcomes. It was also found that shame partially mediated this relationship and that individuals who were feeling shame may struggle to fully express their self-esteem in career success. The findings demonstrate the psychological complexities of career growth and suggest the hypothesis that shame may be an obstacle to mental attainment in a career. The study contributes to the existing literature by noting the importance of emotional considerations for career development in Sri Lanka. It gives practical guidelines for organizations, suggesting that organizations need to build environments conducive to self-esteem and minimizing the detrimental effects of shame. Employee well-being initiatives, mentorship schemes, and emotional resilience training can be implemented.Item PARENTING STYLES DURING ADOLESCENCE AND THEIR IMPACT ON UNDERGRADUATES’ SELF-ESTEEM(Department of Human Resource Management, Faculty of Commerce and Management Studies, University of Kelaniya, Sri Lanka., 2025) Perera, R.A.C.S.; Karunarathne, R.A.I.C.This study is motivated by the need to understand how different parenting styles during adolescence influence self-esteem in undergraduate students, and this study explores the impact of parenting styles during adolescence on the self-esteem of undergraduates. Using a quantitative survey approach, the data were collected from undergraduate students from the Faculty of Management of the University of Kelaniya. The primary focus is on investigating how parenting styles during adolescence impact on the self-esteem of undergraduates. The research acknowledges that the self-esteem of undergraduates may differ depending on the parenting styles they have experienced during their adolescence. A comprehensive literature review leads to the foundation of the research, integrating theories and verifiable findings regarding the variables. The conceptual framework shows the interaction between self-esteem and parenting styles. Using a quantitative research approach, the study uses surveys and SPSS analysis to collect and interpret data. By exploring the relationship among these variables, this research expects to provide a deep comprehension of how these parenting styles influence the self-esteem levels of undergraduates.
