Özet
It is clear that women are underrepresented in the corporate world, and male supremacy persists in many cultures. The detrimental impact of the male-dominated working environment on women frequently results in a variety of situations instead of solidarity among female employees. "Feminism" and "masculinity" are gender roles directed at the sexes by culture, and the dominant culture in society expects the individual to fulfill some roles that are related to their gender. Many women, on the other hand, believe that there is a double standard between them and men and feel that they are always lagging behind in internal promotions. This condition is defined for them as an invisible barrier erected by men and society around them, namely the "glass ceiling," which is one of the most attractive metaphors used to reveal the inequalities between men and women. The glass ceiling syndrome, defined as an artificial career barrier that prevents women from accessing the same opportunities that men have, is a phenomenon arising from both male and female managers and the obstacles that the person puts on himself, and it is a career barrier for women in working life in Turkey to reach a senior managerial position. In almost every society, women may face many negative situations, such as wage inequality and sexual harassment in the workplace. In this context, the aim of the study is to investigate the symptoms of the glass ceiling syndrome by conducting face-to-face interviews with female employees in their daily business lives. © Peter Lang GmbH Internationaler Verlag der Wissenschaften Berlin 2022.
