Youth’s View on Gender Based Glass Ceiling & Glass Cliff Phenomenon

Abstract

Gender perception, which is effective in social life, is also exists in working life. Glass ceiling syndrome and glass cliff phenomenon in working life are the result of gender-based roles in society. In this study, it was aimed to determine whether gender perception has a role on university students’ view toward working life and whether this perception differs to gender. The data was collected from the students studying of a university. T-Test was applied to determine the effect of the participants’ gender on their thoughts on glass ceiling barriers. Chi-Square analysis was performed in order to determine the effect of the relationship between the glass cliff phenomenon and gender. According to the T-Test results, the averages of male and female participants in terms of multiple roles, women’s personal preferences and perceptions, professional distinction and stereotype dimensions were significantly different. In general, there was no glass cliff phenomenon on students' perspectives. However, there was a significant relationship between gender and responses to the glass cliff phenomenon. This study is important in terms of gaining information about how gender injustice in society affects the views of university students who will have an effect in the future business life and how their gender plays a role in these views.
