The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of social support, parenting stress, and subjective hapiness on the depression of working mothers who are raising their children and to investigate alternatives to reduce their depression, and provide a practical program based on the study. In this study, we used hierarchical regression analysis to examine the variables that affect the depression of the working mothers. The results of this study showed that in the first stage, support of family, which is a sub factor of social support has a negative effect on depression. In the second stage, parenting stress had a significant effect on the depression of the working mothers. In the third stage, subjective hapiness has a negative effect on the depression of the working mothers. The relationship between variables such as social support, parenting stress, and subjective hapiness of these mothers were revealed, and the implications of lowering the depression of mothers were discussed based on the result of this study.
