Today, women's increasing assearance in business life and their promotion to managerial positions have caused them to face various discrimination practices and career obstacles. This has led to an increase in research focusing on gender equality, gender discrimination, and women's job positions in sub-disciplines of social sciences such as sociology, business, management, and psychology. Before being promoted to senior management positions, women face invisible career obstacles such as glass elavator, double bind, token promotions, glass labyrinth and glass ceiling. Women who overcome these challenges face a kind of career trap described as the “Glass Cliff”', where they are placed in risky management positions where failures are blamed on women and the prejudice that "women cannot be managers anyway" is strengthened. The term "Glass Cliff" describes the experiences and social prejudices that women encounter when they assume senior management roles, particularly during times of crisis. In this study, research on the "Glass Cliff" in Google Scholar and Researchgate databases between 2005 and 2023 was examined, the findings were evaluated, and suggestions were made for future research.

Günümüzde kadınların iş hayatında artan görünümleri ve yönetici kadrolarına yükselmeleri, çeşitli ayrımcılık uygulamaları ve kariyer engelleriyle karşı karşıya kalmalarına neden olmuştur. Bu durum, sosyal bilimlerin sosyoloji, işletme, yönetim ve psikoloji gibi alt disiplinlerinde cinsiyet eşitliği, cinsiyet ayrımcılığı ve kadınların iş konumlarına odaklanan araştırmaların artmasına yol açmıştır. Kadınlar, üst düzey yöneticilik pozisyonlarına terfi etmeden önce cam asansör, çifte engel, göstermelik terfi, cam labirent ve cam tavan gibi görünmeyen kariyer engelleriyle karşılaşmaktadır. Bu engelleri aşan kadınlar, bu kez riskli yöneticilik pozisyonlarına getirilerek başarısızlıkların kadınlara yüklendiği ve "kadından zaten yönetici olmaz" önyargısının güçlendiği “Cam Uçurum” olarak açıklanan bir tür kariyer tuzağı ile karşılaşmaktadır. “Cam Uçurum” özellikle kriz durumlarında kadınların üst düzey yönetici olarak atanmalarının ardından yaşadıklarını ve toplumsal önyargılarını ifade etmektedir. Bu çalışmada Google Scholar ve Researchgate veri tabanlarında 2005-2023 yılları arasında “Cam Uçurum” ile ilgili yapılan araştırmaların incelemesi yapılmış, elde edilen bulgular değerlendirilmiş ve gelecekte yapılabilecek araştırmalarla ilgili önerilerde bulunulmuştur.
