Glass ceiling: twists and turns in a women career
Dr. Akanksha Taunk
Abstract
The term "glass barrier" refers to physical and psychological hurdles that prevent women from advancing to higher-level positions. The current research report attempted to determine whether a glass ceiling exists in an organization, what stops women from rising higher in their respective fields, and whether or not they are satisfied with the current situation. A scientific investigation was done to determine the prevalence of the so-called Glass Ceiling, including its impact on the effectiveness of women's advancement in the workplace. The literature review was conducted to determine the levels of the glass ceiling and find any differences (if any) between male and female leadership styles. This study discovered a glass ceiling in the organization, with its origins traceable back to cultural norms, corporate practice, family obligations, and women's minds. In the present study, it was also discovered that male and female leadership styles varied. Notably, interviewees throughout the current study paper favoured females in positions of greater responsibility. Still, it is essential to remember that everyone believes the entry barrier must be removed to achieve organizational success. Therefore, it is highly advised that both organizations and women take steps towards removing the power source glass ceiling and empowering women to climb onto the ladder to prominence in their chosen fields. A small number of different industries are covered within the current study. Therefore, additional extensive research is needed to assess the relationship between organizational norms and the presence of a ceiling to accurately grasp the glass ceiling concept and its effect on the organization's future development.
