Abstract: This study examines the effects of the desire for achievement on turnover intention among married women, the mediating effects of work-family conflict, and the moderated mediating effects of supervisory consideration.To this end, we conducted an online survey of 255 female office workers from April 24 to 26, 2024.After analyzing the model using SPSS 29.0, Amos 29.0, and Process Macro 4.2, we found that married women's desire for achievement does not have a direct effect on turnover intention but has an indirect effect through work-family conflict.Specifically, the desire for achievement negatively (-) affects work-family conflict, while work-family conflict positively (+) affects turnover intention.Additionally, the results indicate that supervisory consideration is crucial in mitigating the negative impact of work-family conflict on turnover intention.Higher supervisory consideration was associated with a weaker link between work-family conflict and turnover intention, suggesting that supportive leadership can help retain married female employees.Furthermore, familyfriendly organizational practices, such as flexible work arrangements and supportive policies, may enhance the effectiveness of supervisory consideration in reducing turnover intention.These findings emphasize the importance of fostering a work environment where supervisors actively support employees in balancing work and family responsibilities, ultimately contributing to employee retention.
