The study, which was carried out by supermarket Asda, also revealed that parents are more likely to rate famous parents with a good work/life balance.
Victoria Beckham topped the poll, with Angelina Jolie, Holly Willoughby, Princess Diana and the Queen rounding off the top five.
Beckham, 39, recently opened up about her roles as a mother and singer-turned-fashion designer.
She admitted: "I don't know how I do it. It is a juggling act. It's no different for me than any other mum.
"I get up very early and go through spelling tests and times tables tests with the kids like any working mum. But I have great people who handle my schedule…it's difficult juggling working, having the children, and having a husband who travels.
"I do have a bit of help, I have a nanny, I can't do it all myself…I'd do anything for them.
"But I also love what I do. I think anyone who says it's easy is lying."
When it came to successful fathers in the poll, Peter Andre and David Beckham were both seen to manage their work and family life well.
Elsewhere, 58% of non-working mothers revealed they would love to go back to work and be successful like their celebrity idols if they had the same support in raising their family while at work, while a further 70% of mothers, who are not able to afford private nannies like their favourite stars, said their wages do not cover expensive childcare costs.
Rather than earning a large wage, growing up to be a caring person was the quality that was valued the most by the mothers surveyed (96%), while only 3% felt money is an important factor in their child's future.
A spokesperson for Asda said: "Unlike Victoria Beckham, most mums cannot afford costly childcare, but they still want to be the best role model for their children morally but also in terms of work ethic.
"Mums today respect themselves and feel respected as much for who they are in the world of work as for who they are at home. For seven in ten mums, work does not pay.
"Government, schools and employers all have a responsibility to better support them to balance a successful work and home life and to nurture mums' place in society."
