The purpose of this paper is to analyze the issues that have effect on women career advancement. In addition, this paper is only a theoretical exploration, it is expected that this work lead towards an explanation of the relationship between social support, corporate culture and women career advancement, which may be studied further to determine the empirical finding about the other dynamic of the (SCCT).
