Abstract
Purpose – The objectives of this study are: to identify and compare companies' involvement with work‐life balance practices and policies in 14 European countries, and to test whether these practices actually enhance the career advancement of women to senior management positions. Design/methodology/approach – A comparative descriptive analysis shows differences in work‐life balance practices and policies and women's participation in the workforce between countries. In order to test whether work‐life balance practices and policies enhance the career advancement of women to senior management positions a multiple regression analysis is performed. Findings – There are certain differences in the provision of work‐life balance practices and women's participation in the labour force among European companies. A positive influence of work‐life balance policies and practices on women's career advancement into senior management positions was confirmed in only one case – the payment of an additional amount for maternity leave. All other practices were shown to have no significant impact or a significant negative relationship. Originality/value – An interesting issue is whether work‐life balance practices and policies help remove the glass ceiling. There has been little research on the impact of work‐life balance practices and policies on women's career advancement. This study attempts to redress this dearth by examining the role of work‐life balance practices and policies on women's career advancement.
