Abstract

Glass ceiling, which reflects women employees working at lower organizational levels and being away from managerial positions while advancing in their careers, is still a remarkable topic for current organizations. This study focuses on employees and women managers working for two financial services organizations with different ownership structures. The study aims to identify the attitudes of employees towards women managers and also women managers’ glass ceiling perceptions resulting from their gender roles. The sample of the study consists of 144 employees and 36 women managers currently employed in financial services sector. As a result of the study, it was found that there is a significant difference for attitudes towards women managers according to gender (p=0,003<0,05), whereas the differences according to the education level of the employees (p=0,747>0,05) and national or foreign ownership structure of the company where they are employed (p= 0,742>0,05) were not significant. It was also found that women managers’ perception of the presence of glass ceiling was higher than their own experiences. This reveals the importance of the effect of societal factors related with gender roles, in addition to the individual and organizational factors affecting glass ceiling perception.

Özet

Kadın çalışanların örgütlerde alt kademelerde çalışmaları ve kariyerlerinde ilerlerken de yönetim kadrolarından uzak kalmalarını yansıtan cam tavan günümüz örgütlerinde halen dikkat çeken bir husustur. Bu çerçevede, bu araştırmada hizmet sektöründe finansal hizmetler alanında faaliyet gösteren farklı sermaye yapısına sahip iki örgütte çalışanlara ve kadın yöneticilere odaklanılmış ve çalışanların kadın yöneticilere karşı tutumları ile kadın yöneticilerin cinsiyet rollerinden kaynaklanan cam tavan algılarının belirlenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Araştırmanın örneklemini finansal hizmetler sektöründe çalışan, toplam 144 çalışan ile 36 kadın yönetici oluşturmaktadır. Çalışmanın bulgularına göre, kadın yöneticilere karşı tutumun çalışanların cinsiyetlerine göre farklılık göstermekte olduğu (p=0,003<0,05) ancak çalışanların eğitim seviyesi (p=0,747>0,05) ve çalıştıkları örgütün ulusal veya yabancı sahiplik yapısının ise çalışanların kadın yöneticilere karşı tutumlarında fark yaratmadığı (p= 0,742>0,05) tespit edilmiştir. Bu bulguların yanı sıra, kadın yöneticilerin cam tavanın mevcudiyetine ilişkin algılarının, kendi deneyimlerine göre daha yüksek seviyede olduğu ortaya çıkmıştır. Bu durum, cam tavan algısını etkileyen bireysel ve örgütsel unsurların yanı sıra cinsiyet rolleri ile ilgili toplumsal unsurların etkisinin önemini ortaya çıkarmaktadır.
