Abstract:

 There can be too many obstacles for women to make careers in business life. In particular, career barriers can cause more problems in areas that require a serious discipline, work and dedication such as academicians. In this research, it is aimed to determine the career barriers of female academicians working in a university and to make suggestions for eliminating these barriers or reducing their effects. The research is descriptive and cross-sectional. We tried to reach all female academics working at the university, and our research was completed with 77 female academics who agreed to participate. The data of the research was collected online with the Personal Information Form, Questions Regarding Career Barriers of Female Academicians and Career Barriers Scale of Female Academicians. SPSS program was used for data analysis. When the findings of the research were examined, it was seen that organizational conditions form a career barrier for female academicians who are married and children. The absence of an administrative duty did not create a career barrier. There was no significant career barrier to being exposed to mobbing. One of the sub-dimensions of Career Barriers Scale of Female Academicians, Corporate Prejudices sub-dimension had the highest average score. The rate of being exposed to mobbing in working life was 67.5.

 Kadınların iş hayatı içerisinde kariyer yapmalarının önünde çok fazla engel bulunabilmektedir. Özellikle akademisyenlik gibi ciddi bir disiplin, çalışma ve özveri isteyen alanlarda kariyer engelleri daha fazla sorun çıkarabilmektedir. Bu nedenlerle bu araştırma, bir kamu üniversitesinde görev yapan kadın akademisyenlerin kariyer engellerini ve etkileyen faktörleri belirlemek amacıyla planlanmıştır. Araştırma tanımlayıcı ve kesitsel tiptedir. Bir kamu üniversitesinde çalışan tüm kadın akademisyenler araştırma kapsamına alınmış olup araştırmaya katılmayı kabul eden 77 kadın akademisyen ile tamamlanmıştır. Araştırmanın verileri, iki bölümden oluşan bir veri formu aracılığıyla Kişisel Bilgi Formu ile Kadın Akademisyenlerin Kariyer Engelleri Ölçeği online olarak toplanmıştır. Elde edilen veriler SPSS paket programı kullanılarak analiz edilmiştir. Araştırma bulguları incelendiğinde, örgütsel koşulların evli ve çocukları olan kadın akademisyenler için kariyer engeli oluşturduğu görülmüştür. İdari görevinin olup olmaması kariyer engeli oluşturmamıştır. Mobbinge maruz kalmakta anlamlı bir kariyer engeli olmamıştır. Kadın akademisyenlerin kariyer engelleri ölçeği alt boyutlarından olan Kalıplaşmış önyargılar alt boyutu en fazla ortalama puana sahip alt boyut olmuştur. Çalışma hayatında mobbinge maruz kalma oranı 67.5 olarak tespit edilmiştir. İş yeri barışını tehdit eden mobingle mücadelede bireysel ve kurumsal önlemler üzerinde durularak konu ile ilgili farkındalıklar artırılabilir.
