A STUDY ON THE PROBLEMS ENCOUNTERED BY WOMEN ACADEMICS IN İSTANBUL
Abstract
The role of women in society has developed at different levels in every society. The most important condition for women's development and reaching their personal self is to be included in working life by receiving education. It is also a sad fact that women have taken a place in working life from past to present, but they are fighting with the multiple roles that society imposes on women such as motherhood, housewife and business life. An environment for flexibility in working hours, equal pay with men, equal approach between genders, management and leadership should be created for working women who work both at home and in business and who undertake more than one role. The aim of this study; is to examine the problems faced by women in academic life with a survey conducted with female academicians of universities in Istanbul. In the study, the problems faced by female academicians in business life were answered by female academicians with the survey method. With the questionnaire applied in the study, the opinions of female academicians on the effects of social role multiplicity, marital status, the effect of being a mother on academic career, inequality of opportunity between genders and competition among women were taken and their thoughts on business life were discussed. The data obtained as a result of the survey application were analyzed and evaluated with the SPSS program.
