Women are valuable leaders in organizations. Nevertheless, many of them face various limitations when they are attempting to advance in the workplace. While we might think that women support other women to break through that glass ceiling, research has shown that the female-female relationship in the workplace is not always positive. The purpose of this talk is to raise awareness about some beliefs and behaviors that females can engage in, and that can negatively impact their career advancements, along with that of other women. Maryem Salam has a Masters’ degree in Marketing, and is currently an MBA student at Indiana State University. She also works as a graduate assistant at the Marketing and Operations department of the Scott College of Business. During her academic path, Maryem has developed an interest in the glass ceiling literature, which has inspired her to start her research journey on this topic. Currently, she is working on a research project entitled "Reverse Queen Bee Syndrome: When Do Female Subordinates Favor Male Bosses Over Female Bosses?", a qualitative study that uses social identity theory to explore the nature of female subordinates' perception of their female boss, and the reasons underlying their preference to work for a male boss. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at [ Ссылка ]
