This study aims to examine the relationships between working women's tendencies toward the Cinderella Syndrome, their physical activity levels, and their levels of social capital. The research evaluates the limiting role of Cinderella Syndrome in women's career development, the impact of physical activity on performance in professional life, and the determining effect of social capital on workforce participation. A quantitative research method was adopted, and data were collected from 63 voluntary participants working in various sectors through three scales (Cinderella Syndrome Scale, Social Capital Scale, and International Physical Activity Questionnaire). The collected data were analyzed using statistical methods. According to the findings, the participants' levels of Cinderella Syndrome were low, while their levels of social capital and physical activity were high. However, the relationships between the variables were examined using Pearson’s and Spearman’s correlations, and no significant relationship was found. The relationships between Cinderella Syndrome and social capital (r = -0.073, p = 0.569; ρ = -0.120, p = 0.348), and physical activity (r = 0.055, p = 0.666; ρ = -0.088, p = 0.494) were weak and statistically insignificant. The relationship between social capital and physical activity was also found to be insignificant (r = 0.032, p = 0.803; ρ = 0.046, p = 0.720). These findings indicate that social capital and physical activity alone do not have a significant effect on Cinderella Syndrome. These findings indicate that social capital and physical activity alone do not have a significant effect on Cinderella Syndrome. In conclusion, future studies are recommended to employ larger samples, analyze different subgroups of working women separately, and use multivariate models.
