Dear Colleagues,
We are working on study that seeks to understand the effect of work to family issues on the the career development of working mothers especially those within a higher education setting. We would appreciate the following (in addition to what we already have):
1. Any recommendations of scales specific to the career development of working mothers or women in general.
2. Any recommendations of studies that explore work to family issues and career development.
Your assistance will be greatly appreciated
