Glass ceiling syndrome- a hospital practice

Women who have been locked up in houses throughout the history have started to have a place in business life intensively in the past century. However, in spite of the rapid rise in the number of women participating in the business world, the rate of women among the top management and leaders is rather low.Research on the subject demonstrates that women face diffficulties called `Glass Ceiling?, which cannot be seen apparently and at the same time hard to overcome in order to reach the senior executive position. Glass ceiling refers to the difficulties that take place between women and the top management and which do not allow them to move along their career regardless of their success and skills.In this thesis, `Glass Ceiling Syndrome? has been studied, the related literature on the subject has been scanned and analysed and the obtained results have been tested through a survey in the field.Keywords: Glass Ceiling Syndrome, Female Managers, Gender in work life, Gender discrimination
