Women are under-represented at top-level positions despite increasing women empowerment and participation, and decelerating gender discrimination in India. Women must go through various obstacles in order to reach to senior- or top-level positions in their professional life. Since there are many impediments that a woman must overcome to get career success, however, this study focuses on the impediments that women face due to organizational and family impediment. The current research article aims to evaluate whether lack of mentoring, perceived organizational support (POS), and family responsibilities impact the perceived career success (PCS) of women in the Indian Information Technology (IT) sector. Data in this regard have been collected using a structured questionnaire and a total of 292 respondents have been analysed. In order to examine the impact of these impediments on the perceived career success of women, the method of structural equation modelling (SEM), has been used. Findings of the study reveal that each of the independent variables significantly impacts the perceived career success of women which works as a wake-up call for women executives that they must overcome these impediments to advance their career smoothly.
