Leadership and Gender: Assumptions of contemporary organizations in the light of Adult Education
Summary:
The current thesis explores the perceptions that working women in Greek organizations have regarding the causes of the glass ceiling phenomenon and gender roles. Focusing on both private and public sector organizations with at least 50 employees, the study aims to deepen the understanding of the entrenched beliefs that dominate among women. This understanding is crucial for adult educators tasked with program development in these environments, as it influences the design of educational programs and enhances the effectiveness of the applied interventions.
The research aims to investigate the perceptions of female employees in modern Greek organizations regarding the phenomenon of the glass ceiling, through the means of administering a relevant questionnaire and with the aim of determining the factors that lead to the phenomenon. The study involved 61 employees in both private and public organizations in Greece, aged 18-60. The main results showed that women still face the phenomenon of the glass ceiling in the workplace in Greece, they perceive the factors that lead to the phenomenon of the glass ceiling mainly as social / organizational and less as personal.
This work contributes to broader research on specific beliefs related to women's advancement into leadership roles.
The thesis underlines the challenges faced by women in professional advancement, especially regarding the glass ceiling phenomenon. It proposes adult education to address these challenges, promoting awareness and change in gender role perceptions within organizations, thus enhancing a culture of continuous improvement.
