働く女性のキャリア・ストレス・モデル

For the purpose of examining the determinants of turnover and quitting among working women, 283 working women were sampled from several private corporations in Japan. The causal relation model was named “Career Stress Model among Working Women” since it involved, among others, unique job stressors for working women. The results of path analysis showed that among women, the higher the stressors due to sex discrimination in working spaces, the higher the turnover. Further, the results showed that the lower the job commitment, the higher the quitting. However, since job commitment increases with corporate eagerness towards development of women's careers, corporate efforts to remove all elements of sex discrimination and efforts to implement policies which assist development of women's careers were considered to be important in reducing turnover and quitting among working women.
