Abstract

Women become managers less often than men do and this is explained with the concept of glass ceiling. One can claim that women cannot be managers because they are less educated than men are, leave their jobs at younger ages and have less tenure, do not work as long hours, and do not care as much about opportunities for promotion, development, responsibility and recognition from upper management as men do. The aim of this research is to find out whether the glass ceiling continues to exist even after controlling for these factors which are relatively in women’s power. Based on data from 472 white-collar employees, the results of hierarchical multiple regression analyses show that the glass ceiling remains even after controlling for these variables

Özet

Kadınlar erkeklere kıyasla daha az oranda yönetici pozisyonlarına gelebilmektedir ve bu durum cam tavan kavramıyla açıklanmaktadır. Kadınların, daha az eğitimli olmaları; işten daha erken yaşta ayrılmaları dolayısıyla daha genç ve daha kıdemsiz olmaları; erkekler kadar uzun saatler çalışmamaları; terfi etme, kendini geliştirme, sorumluluk alma ve üst yönetim tarafından tanınma gibi fırsatları önemsememeleri sebebiyle yönetici olamadıkları iddia edilebilir. Bu çalışmanın amacı, nispeten kadınların ellerinde olan bu faktörler kontrol edildiğinde de cam tavanın varlığını sürdürüp sürdürmediğini ortaya çıkarmaktır. 472 beyaz-yakalı çalışandan toplanan verilerin çoklu hiyerarşik regresyon analiz sonuçlarına göre, tüm bu değişkenler kontrol değişken olarak kullanıldığında bile cam tavan varlığını sürdürmektedir.
