| dc.description.abstract | This study set out to identify the barriers hindering women's advancement in leadership roles within Ethiopia's tech sector by taking Gebeya Inc. as a case study. The aim was to explore the significance of these barriers on women's advancement to leadership roles and to determine the extent of women’s advancement in the organization. To this end, a multiple-question Likert scale questionnaire was prepared and shared with the employees via a Google Docs link. The research showed that gender bias, glass ceiling, and stereotypes & prejudices were perceived to occur less frequently within Gebeya Inc. while work-life balance challenges were identified as a significant barrier affecting women's leadership advancement in the organization. All the barriers, however, were seen to have a strong but negative relationship with women’s advancement in Gebeya Inc. Keywords: Barriers, Gender Bias, Glass Ceiling, Work-Life Balance, Stereotypes & Prejudices, Women’s Advancement | |
