Popis: In recent years, despite the fact that women have become more and more involved in business life as a result of economic, social and cultural developments, the proportion of women in the managerial staff and leaders is very low. In terms of female labor force, there are some barriers as well as many advantages. One of these barriers is the glass ceiling syndrome mentioned most often in business world. This is a qualitative research which examines the effects of glass roof syndrome and career barriers on job motivation. The sample group for the research comprises 33 women working in private sector. The findings of the research reveal that women who do not get their deserved promotions have low motivation. Being unmotivated leads some women to reduce their job performances, on the other hand this leads some women to work more motivatedly. Women should be guided and psychological support should be given for career planning in institutions they work for. The absence of gender discrimination and the appreciation of women as a result of their achievements will increase their motivations in workplaces and this will help institutions they work for achieve their goals more quickly.
