This research aims to understand the factors affecting career prospects for working women in Japanese enterprises. We focus on the effects of the organizational culture favorable to women's organizational participation, work environment,and supervisor's support. We obtained the data from a survey given to 267 people in three Japanese enterprises(n=267).The results show that the organizational culture favorable to women's organizational participation and open communication in the workplace influence career prospects for working women. The supervisor's support for women's reflection on their work also affects career prospects. These findings indicate that organizational culture favorable to women's organizational participation, work environment and supervisor's support contribute to women's career development.
