Abstract

Pregnant women and mothers are one of the most vulnerable parts of the workforce. Despite legal provisions are intended to safeguard the motherhood and prevent the mothers’ discrimination, the phenomenon of the voluntary resignation during maternity leave is a current issue in the Southern-Italy society. The multifaceted aspects characterizing the reasons leading the mothers to abandon the workplace are explored through a complex statistical model, namely hierarchical structural equation model.

Keywords: women resignation, high-order construct model, PLS-PM
