Abstract

In the last three decades, Japanese women have made only small inroads into management. This paper examines the factors that discourage married women to pursue career advancements compared with men. Family factors, such as the number of children, whether there are children under six years of age, spouse's employment status, the salary share of respondents in the household, did not have significant effects on women's motivation towards getting promotion. These household factors, however, had significant effects on the decision whether respondents work full time or not. Gender role attitudes also had a significant effect on the decision to work full time or not. The initial motive for promotion continued to have a positive effect on the present motivation for promotion for both men and women.
