Description
Summary:While the numerical ratio of women and men in the business world is almost the same, the representation rate of men in high-level positions is increasing. This situation indicates a possible glass ceiling. This study was conducted to determine whether there is a relationship between the glass ceiling perception in the business world and the self-efficacy belief that supports solving problems and to analyse the effects on job satisfaction. The study was analysed according to the survey responses received from 210 people working in public and private banks operating in Çankaya, Ulus and Yenimahalle districts of Ankara. The Lisrel 8.80 and SPSS-28 package program, T-test and ANOVA method for independent groups and non-parametric Kruskal Wallis-H analysis were used to analyse the data. As a result of the research, a relationship was found between individual and social factors from the subdimensions of self-efficacy and glass ceiling perception, while no relationship was found between organisational factors and self-efficacy. A significant relationship was found between job satisfaction and self-efficacy.
