This study sought to examine the career advancement potential of mothers in the workplace in relation to other variables, including family-oriented workplace practices, work-family stress, career advancement self-efficacy, family-supportive organizational perceptions, and family-supportive supervisor behaviors. Additionally, this study analyzed the relationship between career advancement self-efficacy and family-oriented practices; work-family stress and family-oriented workplace practices; and career advancement self-efficacy and career advancement potential. Data collected from 101 participants showed that family-oriented workplace practices significantly predicted a mother’s career advancement potential. Additionally, a significant correlation between career advancement self-efficacy and career advancement potential was found. Implications and future research directions are discussed.
