THE ROLE OF WOMEN IN MANAGEMENT THROUGH THE PHENOMENON OF GLASS CEILING

Diplomski rad govori o fenomenu staklenog stropa s kojim se susreću žene u poslovnom svijetu, konkretno u menadžmentu. Rad se temelji na istraživanju poteškoća s kojima se susreću žene koje pokušavaju napredovati, ali i voditi poslovanje. Također se istražuju i razlike između ženskog i muškog stila vođenja poslovanja, ali i samog rada. Kroz rad su definirani pojmovi vezani uz menadžment općenito, kako bi se dobio bolji uvid u samu problematiku rada odnosno temu. Rad definira i sve pojmove vezane uz ženske i muške karakteristike općenito, ali i u poslovnom smislu. Istraživanje je pokazalo kako su žene i dalje diskriminirane u poslovnom svijetu te kako se njihov rad manje cijeni od rada muškaraca. Žene su manje plaćene te im se onemogućava napredovanje na veće pozicije, iako je dokazano kako su one bolje u vođenju poslovanja, ali i kako su bolje radnice. Problem koji se još pojavljuje je taj, da ukoliko žene imaju obitelj ili ju planiraju diskriminirane su, te ih se slabije zapošljava s obzirom da im se to gleda kao mana. U radu je provedena anketa pomoću koje je analizirana percepcija žena kao menadžerica. Prikupljena su mišljena ispitanika kako bi se utvrdilo stvarno mišljenje o ženama u poslovnom svijetu menadžmenta. Istraživanje je pokazalo kako su ispitanici svjesni položaja u kojem se žene nalaze te kako ih se diskriminira u odnosu na muškarce.Graduate thesis talks about the phenomenon of glass ceiling encountered by women in the business world specifically in management.
