The Effect of Glass Ceiling Syndrome on Attitudes Toward Women's Work

Summary/Abstract: The study aims to examine the effect of the glass ceiling syndrome on attitudes toward women's work. For this purpose, the relevant literature was searched and three hypotheses were formed. To test the hypothesis, validity and reliability analyses, exploratory factor analysis, correlation and linear regression analysis were done. The results show that there was a positive and significant relationship between the dimensions of the glass ceiling syndrome and the attitude toward women's work. The resignation dimension of the glass ceiling syndrome explains 32.1% of the attitude towards women's work. The acceptance dimension explains 14.8% of the attitude towards women's work. But the denial dimension (p:0.01<0.487) does not have any significant effect. In the literature, dimensions of resilience and denial define as an optimistic approach. Also, dimensions of resignation and acceptance define as the pessimistic approach. Because of that, the dimensions of resignation and acceptance, which means pessimism, effect the attitudes of women toward their work positively and significantly. Barely the dimension of denial, which means optimism, does not effect this attitude significantly. These results can be an important finding to emphasize how women perceive the glass ceiling syndrome. Because if negative organizational behaviors perceive as a normal situation (optimism), other negative behaviors may perceive as normal. Conversely, if negative behavior is perceived as unusual (pessimism), other negative behaviors may also perceive as unusual. Keywords: Women in business life, glass ceiling syndrome, attitude towards women's work.
