Human Capital Theory has been widely used in academic research to explain the factors that affect career attainment and job promotion potential. Investing in human capital can improve career prospects. While previous studies have focused on human and social capital to explain leadership growth within organizations, this research takes a new approach by analyzing work type and how psychosocial support, human capital, and social capital influence employees’ perception of career advancement. In this study, psychosocial support refers to trust, emotional support, and building strong social networks. Education, training and skills represent human capital, while network ties foster a diverse social level of sponsorship for social capital. All three variables played a role in moderating the relationships between gender, work type, and race as a catalyst for career attainment. The results of this research suggest that gender moderates the relationship between human capital and career attainment. Similarly, work type was found to moderate the relationship between human capital and social capital. These findings suggest that the nature of the work environment, specifically as it relates to remote work and gender, plays a role in shaping human capital acquisition and its impact on career progression. Organizations should consider how to effectively leverage remote work arrangements to enhance human capital development and support employees’ career growth.
