                            <p>Amaç: Bu çalışma, Z kuşağı arasında &quot;cam uçurum&quot; (glass cliff) tutumlarının yaygınlığını-kadınların kurumsal kriz veya gerileme dönemlerinde liderlik rollerine atanma olasılığının daha yüksek olması fenomenini-incelemektedir. Araştırma, özellikle Türkiye&#039;deki yükseköğretim bağlamındaki akademik sosyalleşmenin ve mesleki disiplinlerin, Z kuşağının bu davranışları sergileme olasılığını etkileyip etkilemediğini belirlemeyi amaçlamaktadır. Yöntem: Çalışmada, 60 Z kuşağı öğrencisinden oluşan bir örneklem ile senaryo temelli bir yaklaşım ve betimsel analiz kullanılmıştır. Katılımcılar beş farklı akademik fakülteden seçilmiştir: İdari Bilimler, Eğitim, Mühendislik, Hukuk ve Turizm. Bu disiplinler arası yaklaşım, farklı eğitim geçmişlerinin liderlik ve risk algılarını nasıl şekillendirdiğine dair karşılaştırmalı bir analiz yapılmasına olanak sağlamıştır. Bulgular: Bir bütün olarak Z kuşağı genelinde evrensel bir cam uçurum kalıbı bulunmasa da, fakülte aidiyetine bağlı olarak önemli farklılıklar ortaya çıkmıştır. Mühendislik öğrencileri en cinsiyetten bağımsız ve performans odaklı tercihleri sergilemiştir. Buna karşılık, Eğitim Fakültesi öğrencilerinin cam uçurum davranışları sergileme olasılığı en yüksek bulunmuştur. Hukuk ve İdari Bilimler öğrencileri hem cinsiyet ayrımcılığı hem de cam uçurum tercihlerine yönelik ikili bir eğilim gösterirken, Turizm öğrencilerinin yanıtları tutarsız kalmıştır. Özellikle, yüksek riskli senaryolar için kadın adayları seçenlerin %59&#039;unun kadın olması, &quot;Kraliçe Arı&quot; sendromuyla uyumlu bir cinsiyet içi dinamiğe işaret etmektedir. Sonuç: Bulgular, Z kuşağının cam uçuruma yönelik tutumlarının tek tip olmadığını, okudukları alan tarafından önemli ölçüde modüle edildiğini göstermektedir. Eğitim geçmişleri, örgütsel önyargılar için bir öncü görevi görmekte ve bazı disiplinler geleneksel cinsiyet-risk ilişkilendirmelerini diğerlerinden daha fazla pekiştirmektedir. Bu durum, toplumsal cinsiyete dayalı kurumsal önyargıların, marjinalleşmiş gruplar içindeki bireyler tarafından bile pekiştirilebilen mevcut hiyerarşilerin karmaşık bir içselleştirmesi olduğunu göstermektedir. Özgünlük: Bu araştırma, Z kuşağı ve Türkiye&#039;deki yükseköğretim bağlamında cam uçurum teorisinin öncü bir keşfini sunmaktadır. Akademik sosyalleşmeyi, bireyler henüz profesyonel iş gücüne katılmadan önce kurumsal önyargıların gelişiminde kritik bir faktör olarak tanımlayarak cam uçurum teorisinin kuramsal kapsamını genişletmektedir.</p></trans-abstract>

Specifically, the research aims to determine whether professional disciplines and academic socialization within the context of Turkish higher education influence the likelihood of Generation Z exhibiting these behaviors. Method: The study was conducted using a scenario-based approach with a sample of 60 Generation Z students. The data obtained were analyzed using descriptive analysis methods. Participants were selected from five different academic faculties: Administrative Sciences, Education, Engineering, Law, and Tourism. This interdisciplinary approach allowed for a comparative analysis of how different educational backgrounds shaped perceptions of leadership and risk. Results: While there&#039;s no universal &quot;glass cliff&quot; pattern across Gen Z, significant differences emerged depending on faculty affiliation. Engineering students showed the most gender-neutral, performance-based preferences. In contrast, Education students were most likely to exhibit &quot;glass cliff&quot; behavior. Law and Administrative Sciences students showed a dual tendency toward both gender discrimination and &quot;glass cliff&quot; preferences, while Tourism students&#039; responses remained inconsistent. Notably, the fact that 59% of those who chose female candidates for high-risk scenarios were women suggests an intra-gender dynamic consistent with the &quot;Queen Bee&quot; syndrome. Conclusion: The findings indicate that Generation Z&#039;s attitudes toward the glass divide are not uniform but are significantly influenced by their educational backgrounds. Educational background functions as a precursor to organizational bias, with some disciplines reinforcing traditional gender-risk relationships more than others. This suggests that gender-based organizational bias is a complex internalization of existing hierarchies and can even be reinforced by those within marginalized groups. Originality: This research offers a pioneering perspective on the glass cliff theory within the context of Generation Z and Turkish higher education. It expands the scope of the glass cliff theory by identifying academic socialization as a critical factor in the development of organizational bias, even before individuals enter the professional workforce.</p></abstract>
