HAVACILIK SEKTÖRÜNDE KADIN ÇALIŞANLARIN CAM TAVAN SENDROMU VE ÖRGÜTSEL SESSİZLİK İLİŞKİSİ

Abstract

Cam tavan, kadın çalışanların iş hayatında karşılaştıkları görünmez kariyer engelleri olarak ifade edilebilir. Günümüzde kadınların hemen hemen her sektörde iş hayatında terfi, ödül gibi olumlu başarılarda karşılaştığı engeller, kadınların kariyerlerindeki konumunu ve yerini tehdit etmektedir. Bu çalışmada, kadın çalışanların cam tavan ve örgütsel sessizlik algısı incelenmiştir. Çalışmaya Van Ferit Melen ve Erzurum Havalimanında sivil havacılık sektöründe çalışan kadın çalışanlar dahil edilmiştir. Anket ve ölçek verileri SPSS (ver.20) programı ile analiz edilmiştir. Bu çalışmanın sonuçlarına göre; sivil havacılık sektöründe çalışan kadınların eğitim durumları ile cam tavan sendromu arasında fark bulunmazken, örgütsel sessizlik açısından farklılık bulunmuştur. Gelir düzeyi ile cam tavan ve örgütsel sessizlik arasında fark tespit edilmemiştir. Mesleki kıdem ile cam tavan ve sessizlik arasında istatistiksel farklılık dikkati çekmektedir. Cam tavan sendromu ile karşı karşıya kalan kadınların örgütsel sessizlik duygusunun da yüksek olduğu ifade edilmektedir.

THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN GLASS CEILING SYNDROME AND ORGANIZATIONAL SILENCE OF FEMALE EMPLOYEES IN THE AVIATION SECTOR

Abstract

Glass ceiling can be expressed as invisible career barriers that women employees face in business life. Today, obstacles faced by women in almost every sector in business life in positive achievements such as promotions and awards threaten the position and place of women in their career. In this study, the perception of glass ceiling and organizational silence of female employees were examined. Female employees in the civil aviation sector at Van Ferit Melen and Erzurum Airport were included in this study. The questionnaire and scale data were analyzed with the SPSS (ver.20) software program. According to the results of this study; there was no difference between educational status and glass ceiling syndrome of women working in the civil aviation sector, but a difference was found in terms of organizational silence. No difference was found between income level and glass ceiling and organizational silence. On the contrary, a statistical difference was found between professional seniority and glass ceiling and silence. It can be stated that the organizational silence mood of women who are faced with glass ceiling syndrome is also high.
