Abstract:

Glass ceiling can be expressed as invisible career barriers that women employees face in business life. Today, obstacles faced by women in almost every sector in business life in positive achievements such as promotions and awards threaten the position and place of women in their career. In this study, the perception of glass ceiling and organizational silence of female employees were examined. Female employees in the civil aviation sector at Van Ferit Melen and Erzurum Airport were included in this study. The questionnaire and scale data were analyzed with the SPSS (ver.20) software program. According to the results of this study; there was no difference between educational status and glass ceiling syndrome of women working in the civil aviation sector, but a difference was found in terms of organizational silence. No difference was found between income level and glass ceiling and organizational silence. On the contrary, a statistical difference was found between professional seniority and glass ceiling and silence. It can be stated that the organizational silence mood of women who are faced with glass ceiling syndrome is also high.
