Abstract

This study was conducted to reveal the relationship between the ceiling glass and motivation and to show the managers and business owners the positive effects of breaking the ceiling glass on the motivation of female employees to create awareness among those managers and business owners. Additionally, this study was conducted to reveal the importance of career management, which is one of the basic functions of human resources, and to show the decision makers that it is possible to increase the motivation of female employees through effective use of career management. The data obtained were evaluated using SPSS and AMOS package programs. As a result of the evaluations it was determined that there was a low level significance in the negative direction between the perception of glass ceiling and general motivation and the external dimension of motivation. Additionally, it was determined that there was a low level significance in the negative direction between “gender discrimination, family life, organizational culture and organization politics”, which are sub-dimensions of glass ceiling perception, and general motivation.
