Abstract

Today, especially in developing countries, the majority of working mothers in institutions' organizational structures, feel disturbed and excluded. This article aims to examine the relationship between challenges faced by working mothers in Turkey and their view of organizational commitment with a scientific approach. This study also aims to discuss the gender and maternal identity of working women by considering the difficulties they have in their both business and family lives. The survey designed for this article was applied to 105 working mothers living in Istanbul, and 82 of them completed it. In this online quantitative study, the living standards of working mothers, the capacity of the institution to support them, and the relationship between work-family life and organizational commitment were investigated. As a result of this study, it was found that there is a significant relationship between corporate commitment and life satisfaction, identities (work and family, etc.), job satisfaction, and organizational support for working mothers, and a significant negative relationship was found between corporate commitment and work-family life conflict.
