“…As a result, many women needed to work to support their families.

Farmer (1985) presented a conceptual model of the contribution of background, personal, and environmental factors to three dimensions of motivation (aspiration, mastery, and career); although the theory is not testable in its present form, it might be amenable to refinement for empirical validation studies.
