This study examines the effects of having women directors on corporate board on company’s
corporate social responsibility (CSR) disclosure. We also examine if women directors’ demographic
characteristics would influence CSR disclosure. From an initial sample of 300 non-financial companies listed in
Bursa Malaysia, 139 companies have women on corporate boards. Using data for the year 2013, we found that
tenure negatively influences CSR disclosure. As the number of years of serving the corporate board increases,
the women directors were found to have less influence on CSR disclosure. Other predictive variables, however,
were found to be insignificant in influencing companies’ CSR disclosure. Findings from this study add to the
literature on the impacts of having women directors on company’s corporate board and their demographic
characteristics on CSR disclosure from the point of view of a developing country. The results may be useful for
policy makers to improve the representation of women directors as preliminary analyses provide some evidence
that companies with women directors provide a better quality of CSR disclosure.

The Challenges of Human Resource Development in Sudanese Civil Serviceinventionjournals
This study aimed at shedding some light on the challenges affecting human resource development in civil service organizations in Sudan, especially in respecting training and working environment. The study targets the middle and senior professionals and non-professionals employees. A questionnaire with items on the satisfaction of different aspects of training and the working environment was distributed to 1110 employees form ten Federal Ministries and six States. Satisfaction is derived from the aggregated responses on the different aspects of the training and work environment. The Findings of the study showed that there are many challenges facing the civil service organizations in Sudan. Majority of the respondents are dissatisfied with the training situation in their organizations due to bias in distributing training opportunities; inadequacy of allowance and rewards; lack of identifying training needs; lack of monitoring of the employees performance, and etc. Dissatisfaction differs between the respondents according to gender; age; educational level, work sector, job category, and state of work. The finding also revealed that there is a relationship between nepotism, favoritism, the wrong employment and understanding the job responsibilities, which in turn lead to job satisfaction. Such employees stay like a deadwood in the organization, as they do not contribute much towards achieving organizational objectives. The contribution of this study adds recruitment; as other factors that must be kept into consideration when talking about job satisfaction.

Role of Women in Top Management Positions and its Impact on Company Leadershipijtsrd
Women score 86 higher than men in emotional self awareness, according to Hay Group. Emotional self awareness includes understanding emotions and their effect on performance and how those emotions drive one’s actions. Adaptability, empathy, and social awareness are also areas within the soft skill spectrum where women excel. Women make up half of the worlds population, but they continue to face inequalities in every field, whether in government or non government organisations, and particularly in leadership because men believe women cannot be good leaders or managers, whereas men agree for women to work at home because men believe women are only good for domestic work. Attaining gender equality in organisations at all levels is a lengthy and difficult process that necessitates the involvement of the entire firm as well as a strong commitment from top management. Women constitute half of the worlds population, undertake two thirds of the worlds labour, but receive just a third of the worlds income, according to UN publications on women issues of the year 2000. I make a tenth of its income and hold less than a hundredth of its assets. Women account for more than 40 of the global labour force and half of the global population. Over the years government seeks to establish policies and programmes to progress women in government companies and organisations. Women produce more than 55 percent of the food grown in developing countries, particularly in rural areas. According to several surveys, women have shown to be successful business owners as well as managers. According to the research, women make up 16 percent of junior management jobs, 4 percent of middle and senior management positions, and only 1 of organisational leadership positions CEOs . This paper is based on secondary information. The study focuses on the challenges that women face in India when it comes to top management position and overall leadership and management.

Globally, the number of startup companies has rapidly expanded during the last 5-8 years. Offering
products and/or services that greatly enhance the lives of its clients is a major focus for these firms. In India,
local and federal government initiatives have provided new enterprises and entrepreneurs with much
momentum and assistance, helping India become the world's top startup location. The Government of India
(GOI) launched the "Startup India" campaign in 2015 to promote entrepreneurship and support businesses to
achieve this goal (Babu, S., Sridevi, K.,2019). An IBM Center for Business Value and Oxford Economics study
in 2018 found that 90% of Indian companies fail within the first five years of operation. Potential difficulties
that startups may run across, both generally and specifically in the Indian market, have been described by
several authors.

Even though economists and academics have been studying money laundering for many years, there
are still gaps in the research because there is a dearth of trustworthy data on the activity as well as an absence

destinations between the years 2000 and 2020, as well as whether there are any variations in country rankings
during economic downturns. The investigation's findings indicated that even during recessionary times, money

Enterprise Excellence is Inclusive Excellence.pdfKaiNexus
Enterprise excellence and inclusive excellence are closely linked, and real-world challenges have shown that both are essential to the success of any organization. To achieve enterprise excellence, organizations must focus on improving their operations and processes while creating an inclusive environment that engages everyone. In this interactive session, the facilitator will highlight commonly established business practices and how they limit our ability to engage everyone every day. More importantly, though, participants will likely gain increased awareness of what we can do differently to maximize enterprise excellence through deliberate inclusion.
What is Enterprise Excellence?
Enterprise Excellence is a holistic approach that's aimed at achieving world-class performance across all aspects of the organization.
What might I learn?
A way to engage all in creating Inclusive Excellence. Lessons from the US military and their parallels to the story of Harry Potter. How belt systems and CI teams can destroy inclusive practices. How leadership language invites people to the party. There are three things leaders can do to engage everyone every day: maximizing psychological safety to create environments where folks learn, contribute, and challenge the status quo.
Who might benefit? Anyone and everyone leading folks from the shop floor to top floor.

ABSTRACT : This research aims to find out (glass ceiling) barriers of women managers‟ not represented in
top management although working women percentage is high in work force. The participants consisting of 40
women managers (n=40) mainly from a private bank and an engineering company in Istanbul were given the
survey. Data collected was analysed by SPSS21.0 program. Analysis results show that „child care
responsibility‟ is perceived as the highest barrier among women managers in their career. Furthermore career
barriers perception is found higher in junior women managers‟ with low income comparing to more
experienced women managers with high income.
KEYWORDS Career Barriers, Glass Ceiling, Women Managers
I. INTRODUCTION
This research aimes to find out the reasons of „glass ceiling‟ of women managers. Reasons preventing
women managers to be in top management are investigated.Glass ceiling in literature is defined as the reasons
which can not be seen clearly and can not be overcomed which prevent women‟s promotion, whether they are
successful or not.
In this context, glass ceiling reasons like social, cultural, economic, family reasons and other factors
(like education, gender, working hours, age and marital status) effecting women managers‟ are investigated.The
replies of following questions are investigated in this research.
Do family reasonslike child care, marriage etc. effect women managers‟ career negatively?
Do social reasonseffect women managers‟ career negatively?
Do working/general environment effect women managers‟ career negatively?
Do economic reasonseffect women managers‟ career negatively?
Do other reasons like education, age etc.effect women managers‟ career negatively?
II. CONCEPTUAL BACKGROUND
1.1. Women Managers
United States and Women Managers: Women in US consist only less than 4 percent of top management that is
CEO, president, executive vice president, and COO[1]. Although women are more educated than men with 60
percent of undergraduate and all master degrees, are not represented in top management accordingly with only
14,6 percent of executive officers, 4,6 percent of Fortune 500 CEOs, 16,9 percent of Fortune 500 board seats
[2].
European Union and Women Managers:Although women work force is around 60 percent in European
countries they are not represented in top management levels or in management boards. As per the European
Union report [3], only 3 percent of the presidents of big companies in European countries are women. Women
percent in management boards have increased from 9 percent in 2003 to 13,7 percent in 2012 [4]. European
union emphasizes that improved and widely used mechanisms revealing women‟s potential is very important to
enable women who consist half of the population, to contribute to society and environment. Furthermore from
gender-equality representation, democracy and justice point of view, women representation in top management
2. Career Barrıers (Glass Ceılıng) of Women Managers‟ and a Research About The Reasons
International Journal of Business Marketing and Management (IJBMM) Page 27
is very important [5]. Women managers in private sector in European Union countries are low compared to the
state sectors. Average women managers in state is 30 percent while in private sector 11 percent.
Turkey and Women Managers:As per Turkish Statistical Institute‟s[6], „Women Statistics, 2013‟ report, the
women executive rate in state sector in Turkey is 9,3 percent. In private sector the top management women rate
is not over 10 percent neither and in first 500 companies the percent is less than 10 percent [7]. Turkish women
although compared to prestigious professions like academicians, doctors, lawyers etc. are represented in higher
percentages compared to even developed western countries, however they are not represented in top
management level in the same percentage. Glass ceiling is seen in both private and state sector and even in civil
society organisations [8].
1.2. Glass Ceiling Theory (Barriers In Women Manager‟s Career)
Glass ceiling is a common description in United States, used as the title of the report which specified that there
are unseen barriers for women especially in top management. Despite the law and regulations against gender
discrimination and despite the women‟s education and specialties and even if there are positive applications to
increase women employees, there is an unseen barrier preventing women‟s promotion to top management
levels. This barrier, namely „Glass Ceiling‟ is the total effect of „Senior Men‟ network‟s discriminative
behaviours [9].
1.2.1. Glass Ceiling Reasons
Personal/Family Reasons (Cindrella Syndrome):Perception of women‟s role to be at home and be related with
home life is an important barrier. Woman‟s herself accepting the expected role from her as to be in home life
only and identifying herself as in Cindrella Syndrome is an important barrier in her career. Dowling [10]
describes the syndrome as a physchological dependence to others, deeply desiring others to take the
responsibility of taking care of herself. Women are waiting others to come and change their lives like Cindrella.
Women have started to participate in work force however they are not represented in top management yet.
Women have realized that the key variable in personal autonomy is money, this is not sharing only washing
clothes, this is sharing the power and the source of the power is economic power [11]. Women‟s anxiety of
neglecting motherhood and housework responsibilities is one of the important personal and family reason
barrier in women‟s career. Although she might get support for child care and house work, increasing cost of
child care is one of the important factors effecting women‟s career[12].
Social Reasons: Prejiduces about women prevent women‟s working life and at the same by preventing
women manager as a role model avoids women to be thought for these roles. It is easier for the woman manager
to have positive relationship with others if she is accepted by others easily. However if a person does not have
sufficient experience and does not know what to do then will have conflicts with superiors and subordinates
[13]. Especially some men managers are worried that they will be replaced with new women employees who are
competent, therefore they avoid helping new women employees and this effects the new women employee‟s
relationship and adaptation to the job negatively. Women employees thinking that they are not wanted and loved
in the work, have phychological breakdown and loses self confidence. For employees who are not appreciated
by the superiors in work, who can not find the relationship wanted, the work place becomes a boring and
unbearable place[14].
Reasons of Work/Environment: In some institutions conditions might be equal however in other
companies women might have to work harder to be accepted. Corporates cultures focused on men are an
important barrier for women. Women‟s promotion in the institutions must be based on human, performance
evaluation and gender equality [15].
Economic Reasons:To enable women to compete with men, the cost of the necessary education is
another barrier for women as the cost of making career is high and return of it is low.
Other Reasons:Women believing that they have passed the age to make a career, that they have to work
for long hours after working hours, finding their professional competence insufficient etc. are other barriers in
their career.

1.2.2. How To Break Glass Ceiling
Euroean Commision Report [16]about policies to increase women representation in top management and to
avoid glass ceiling barriers are as follows:
Good Company Policies:
Flexible working hours models like unpaid leave or temporarily part-time working,
home office with the new technologic advances,
corporate policy to reward performance instead of long working hours in office and
to apply minimum quotas for women especially in top management positions,
to advertise positions openly and clear selection process and
to work on gender equality and
to prepare leadership, mentorship and coach training programs for women employees and to establish
women network within the company.
Regulation Organizations Applications: States reward and support companies to increase women in top
management. In Slovenia, companies are awarded with „Women Friendship Award‟ if one third of top
management consists of women. Minister of Gender-Equality in Denmark, a program named „More Women in
Management Agreement‟ is applied to recommend increasing women representation in management board.
Netherlands has started to increase women in management as well and as per the observation committee, the
increase of women in top management is 7,5 percent per annum. In Germany the big companies(DAX30) 2011
have accepted the quota applications on volunteer basis.
States Legal Regulations and Volunteer Based Applications
Compulsory Quota Applications:
Norway,although not a EU member, has started applying first gender quote in state institutions in 1981
and in 2008 or big companies. 6 percent of women representation in state companies boards in 2002
has increased to 36 percent in 2008.
Spain in 2007 has regulated that big companies with employees more than 250 employees have to
change the board members representation of either one of the genders to be minimum 40 percent
gradually till 2015.
France has started compulsory quota application for big companies with minimum 500 employees and
with volume over 50 million Euro to represent women in management boards by 20 percent by 2015,
and 40 percent till 2018.
Netherlands has applied a quota as of 2016 for companies with more than 250 employees, either gender
has to be represented 30 percent in management and supervisory boards.
Italy has also applied a quote as of 2015 for all state and all publicly quoted companies to have each
gender to be represented one third of the management and supervisory boards.
Belgium also applied quota for all publicly quoted companies and state companies to have each gender
to be represented as one third of the management boards.
Volunteer Based Initiatives:
United Kingdom, has started gender equiality strategy and recommended that till 2015 the first 100
companies open to public (FTSE100) to have minimum 25 percent women in their management
boards.
Finland has recommended in all state companies to have 40 percent women in their management
boards and 26 percent in big companies open to public by 2008.
Sweden has around 26 percent women in management boards of big companies open to public (OMX
Stockholm 30).
Turkey has recommended via Capital Market Board to have minimum one women member in
management boards.

Difference Test Results Between Women Managers‟ Career Barrier Reasons and Total Work Experience:
The one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) is used to determine whether there are any statistically significant
differences betweenwomen managers‟ career barriers and their total work experience. The one-way analysis of
variance (ANOVA) results (Table.8) show that there is a statistically significant difference between the
relationship of career barriers from work environment and total work experience at least in one group. Tukey‟s
test is used to test pairwise mean comparisons after ANOVA is performed on data set. Tukey test results show
that women managers with total experience between 16-20 years have career barrier perception higher than
women managers with total experience 21 years /over (Table.9).

Difference Test Results Between Women‟s Career Barrier Reasons and Income Level: The relationship
between women‟s career barriers scale and income level was analysed with one-way analysis of variance
(ANOVA). The analysis result show that there is a statistically significant differenc between income level and
the barriers arising from work environment (p=0.027<0.05 and p=0.010<0.05, Table. 12). Tukey‟s test is used
to test pairwise mean comparisons after ANOVA test. Results show that career barries of general/work
environment barrier reasons perception are higher in women managers with income level below 1500 TL /below
compared to the women managers with income level 1501TL and 3000 TL.

IV. CONCLUSION
Research results investigating reasons of glass ceiling for women managers show that the highest rated barrier is
„child care‟ in their careers. This result is in consistent with [19] theresearch result that women managers‟
promotions are prevented by their maternal leave etc.The difference results show that;
Career barrier of general/work environment and economic reasons differ significantly with education
and with total work experience (p=0.016<0.05). Therefore, Tukey test which applies simultaneously to
the set of all pairwise comparisons and which compares the difference between each pair is used after
ANOVA to see which group differs significantly. Tukey test results indicate that women managers who
have a total work experience of 16 to 20 years have more career barriers perception then women
managers of 21 years experience /over.
Career barriers of work environment differ significantly with general income level as well
(p=0.027<0.05 and p=0.010<0.05). To see which group differs significantly, Tukey test is applied.
Results show that women managers whose income is under 1500TL or between 1501TL-
3000TLperception of work environment barriers are higher than women managers who have income of
3001-4500.
In other words, women managers, who are at the beginning of their career with low income perceive more career
barriers than more experienced with high income women managers.
These results show that the main reason of glass ceiling (barrier) in women managers is the „child care
responsibility‟. To enable women to break the glass ceiling first of all with the necessary regulations must be
applied to share the child care responsibility with working women. The state and private institutions taking
necessary precautions like opening more kindergardens, applying flexible working hours, working from home
etc. will be of assistance to share the responsibility with the working women.

Solving the biggest perceived career barrier of women managers, „child care responsibility‟ will help increasing
women managers percent parallel to percent in women‟s work force.
Hoping that the results of this survey investigating women‟s career barriers will help future researchers.
