Factors predicting employed women's interest in promotion

Logistic regression analysis is used to test the relative importance of familial role factors and organization of workplace factors in predicting interest in promotion among employed women. None of the familial role factors (marital status, number of children, sex role attitudes. reasons for employment) influenced interest in promotion. Three of the four organization of workplace factors were significantly related to interest in promotion: perceived chance for advancement, relative opportunities for men and women on the job, and occupational status, with perceived chance for advancement being the strongest predictor.
