Yapışkan Zemin Olgusu: Bibliyometrik Analiz

Abstract

Yapışkan zemin, çalışan kadınların ilerleyemedikleri ve dolayısıyla uzun süre sıkışıp kaldıkları düşük ücretli ve kadınlara uygun görülen düşük-orta seviyeli pozisyonlarda karşılaştıkları engelleri temsil etmektedir. Bazı yapışkan zemin çalışmaları cinsiyetler arasındaki ücret eşitsizliğini incelerken, diğerleri kadınların sosyal olarak kabul gören rollerini araştırmaktadır. Bu çalışma, bibliyometrik analiz yürüterek yapışkan zeminle ilgili yayınlardaki tematik eğilimleri belirlemeyi amaçlamaktadır. Çalışma, yapışkan zemini açıklamakta ve bu olguyu araştıran yayınlarda odaklanılan hususları incelemektedir. Ayrıca, özellikle yapışkan zeminle ilgili olarak çalışan kadınların karşılaştığı sorunlara ilişkin araştırmaların gelişimini anlamayı amaçlamaktadır. Bu çalışmada Scopus ve Web of Science veri tabanlarında yer alan 207 yayın VOSviewer aracılığıyla incelenmiştir. Sonuçlar, yapışkan zeminin araştırıldığı 2 ana temayı tanımlayan dört küme ortaya çıkarmıştır. Bu sonuçlar, yapışkan zemini ve etkisini anlamak ve gelecekteki çalışmalar için literatürdeki boşlukları belirlemek açısından önem taşımaktadır.

The Sticky Floor Phenomenon: A Bibliometric Analysis

Abstract

The sticky floor represents the impediments working women face, where they cannot advance and thus remain stuck in their female-considered, low-wage, and low-middle-level positions for extended periods. While some sticky floor studies examine the wage inequality between genders, others investigate women’s socially accepted roles. This study aims to conduct a bibliometric analysis and identify the thematic trends in sticky floor-related publications. It explains the sticky floor and examines the aspects these studies focus on while investigating this phenomenon. It also aims to understand the evolution of research regarding the issues working women face, specifically concerning the sticky floor. This study examined 207 Scopus and Web of Science-indexed publications via VOSviewer. The results revealed four clusters that define two main themes in which the sticky floor is researched. These results are crucial to understanding the sticky floor and its impact and identifying the gaps in the literature for future studies.
