| description | In Malaysian organizations mostly, the circumstances of promoting
professional women to top management positions remains a sensitive subject over
time. Even though the percentages of women entering the labor force are rising, the
percentages of those who are holding higher managerial positions are still low.
Hence, this research is important to find out the barriers to women career progression
and determine how the barriers impact toward the employees’ job performance as
well. The study is focusing at the Multinational Companies in Malaysia.
Questionnaires were distributed and analyzed through frequency distribution, the
Mean, Correlation, Regression as well as Factor Analysis; used to identify the
interrelations and significant relationship between perceived barriers to women
career progression and its impact toward job performance. The result shows that
there is a significant relationship between dependent variables and job performance.
There are five dependent variable factors were found to be a reason for barriers to
women career progression. They are Glass Ceiling, Gender Stereotype, Sexual
Discrimination, Lack of Mentorship and Gender Wage Gap. |
