Özet:

Queen Bee Syndrome and its influencing factors among Turkish female academic nurses were examined in a cross-sectional study with 305 participants. Data were collected using a demographic form and the Queen Bee Syndrome Scale. The mean score on the scale was 2.97±0.68, with significant differences based on age, university type, residence area, academic title and experience, managerial experience, future institutional preferences, willingness to switch universities, perception of working with male managers, support from female managers, institutional support for female managers, and personal experiences of Queen Bee Syndrome. Factors like ease of working with male managers, institutional support for female employees to become managers, and a desire to support female employees accounted for 40.9% of the variability in Queen Bee Syndrome. This study highlights the significant perception of Queen Bee Syndrome among Turkish female academic nurses, influenced by personal, professional, and institutional factors.
