Özet

Bu araştırmada üst düzey kadın yöneticilerin kariyer engellerinin incelenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Araştırmaya kuramsal örnekleme yoluyla ulaşılan ve çeşitli sektörlerde görevini sürdüren 21 üst düzey kadın yönetici katılmıştır. Nitel araştırma yöntemlerinden gömülü teori tasarımında yürütülen araştırmanın verileri yarı yapılandırılmış görüşme tekniği yoluyla elde edilmiştir. Elde edilen verilerin analizinde sırasıyla açık kodlama, seçici kodlama ve kuramsal kodlama basamakları izlenmiştir. Analiz işlemleri sonucunda katılımcıların kariyer gelişimleri süresince sekiz farklı kariyer engeli ile karşılaştığı belirlenmiştir. Bu engellerin kaynağında toplumsal cinsiyet rolleri beklentisi ile kurumsal ve bireysel nedenlerin bulunduğu gözlenmiştir. Toplumsal cinsiyet rolleri beklentisinden kaynaklanan kariyer engelleri arasında rol çatışması ve mesleki yeterliklerine ilişkin etiketlenme yer almıştır. Kurumsal kaynaklı kariyer engelleri şiddetli rekabet ortamı, işin stresli yönleri, erkekler kulübüne inisiyasyon, pozisyon gerilemesi ve kurumsal kriz dönemleridir. Son olarak aile yaşam döngüsüne ait kriz dönemleri, bireysel nedenlerden kaynaklanan kariyer engelleri arasındadır. Elde edilen sonuçlar ilgili literatür çerçevesinde tartışılarak bazı öneriler sunulmuştur.
