    (Addis Ababa University, 2024-10) Bezawit Worku; Mahir Jibrel (PhD)
    This research project focuses on the glass ceiling and its effect on women leadership progression in the case of Dashen Bank S.C Head Office Branch. Dashen Bank is the most respected brand in the Ethiopian banking industry via persistent value delivery and superiority to its rivals. The study investigates the causes of the glass ceiling, such as unconscious gender bias, structural barriers, and organizational culture using questionnaire responses from 80 women participants and interview responses from 3 men participants. The study employed a casual or explanatory and descriptive research design. The results show that there is unconscious bias present in the organization, which results in stereotypes and restricted chances for women to hold leadership positions. Women's advancement is hindered by structural impediments, such as limited access to networks and decision-making processes. The report emphasizes how the glass ceiling has a detrimental impact on women's access to leadership roles, salary, and job satisfaction. This research has concluded that overcoming the glass ceiling is essential if gender equality is to be achieved. To help women succeed in leadership positions, the bank should actively address unconscious bias, eradicate structural barriers, and foster inclusive organizational culture. And also the bank could also assist with creating a work climate that is equal and empowering by putting the suggested ideas into practice. The implementation of unconscious gender bias training, clear promotion standards, efficient mentorship programs, promoting diversity and inclusion, and offering equal growth chances are among the recommendations. Key Words: Glass Ceiling, Unconscious Gender Bias, Structural Barriers, and Organizational Culture
