Abstract

Study objectives were to (a) investigate influences of personal attributes, family support, and organizational support on female career advancement; and (b) examine the mediating effect of readiness and the moderating role of gender-role attitudes on those influential paths. Samples are female foreign-service officials from six Thai public organizations. Explanatory sequential mixed-methods design was used by questionnaire of 299 respondents and semi-structured interviews of 15 participants. Questionnaire data were analyzed by SEM, Sobel’s z-test, and a conditional effect of PROCESS Model 1, whereas triangulation technique analyzed semi-structured interview data. Results demonstrated multiple factors, influencing female career advancement in the Thai context, and provided theoretical, practical, and social implications.
