Abstract

Bu araştırma da spor bilimleri alanındaki kadın akademisyenlerin “cam tavan sendromu” kavramına ilişkin metaforik algılarının incelenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Araştırma grubu Spor Bilimleri Fakültelerinde ve Beden Eğitimi ve Spor Yüksekokullarında görev yapan 61 kadın akademisyenden oluşmaktadır. Araştırmada veri toplama aracı olarak katılımcılara cam tavan sendromu kavramına ilişkin algılarını belirlemek için metafor formu hazırlanmıştır. Veriler içerik analizi yöntemi ile analiz edilerek, kategoriler ve temalar oluşturulmuştur. Katılımcıların 43 metafor ürettiği görülmüştür. Üretilen metaforlar engeller teması altında yer alan psikolojik engeller, örgütsel engeller ve toplumsal cinsiyet engelleri olmak üzere üç kategoriden oluşmaktadır. Katılımcıların en fazla ürettiği metaforlar duvar, çaresizlik, engel, tel, mobbing şeklinde sıralanmıştır. Sonuç olarak ataerkil kültürle spor bilimlerindeki kadın akademisyenler cinsiyete dayalı ayrımcılıkla ve kariyer basamaklarında çeşitli zorluklarla karşılaştıkları görülmektedir. Kadın akademisyenlerin akademideki çalışmaları ve yeterlilikleri hakkındaki önyargılar düzeltilmelidir. Toplumsal cinsiyet eşitliğini geliştirmeye ve akademik topluluğun bir parçası olarak kadın akademisyenlere yönelik politikalar geliştirilebilir. Kadın akademisyenlerin kariyer basamaklarında ilerlerken karşılaştıkları zorluk ve mücadelelerin ortaya konulması adına nitel görüşmeler yapılabilir.

Metaphorical Perceptions of Female Academics in the Glass Ceiling Syndrome

Abstract

In this study, it is aimed to examine the metaphorical perceptions of female researchers in the field of sports sciences regarding the concept of "glass ceiling syndrome". The research group consists of 61 women academicians working at the Faculties of Sports Sciences and Schools of Physical Education and Sports. As a data collection tool in the research, a metaphor form was prepared for the participants to determine their perceptions about the concept of glass ceiling syndrome. By analyzing the data with the content analysis method, categories and themes were created. It was observed that the participants produced 43 metaphors. The metaphors produced consist of three categories: psychological barriers, organizational barriers and gender barriers, which are included under the theme of barriers. The metaphors that the participants produced the most were listed as wall, helplessness, obstacle, wire, mobbing. As a result, it is seen that with patriarchal culture, women academics in sports sciences face gender-based discrimination and various difficulties on the career ladder. In order to correct prejudices and misperceptions about the work and qualifications of women academics in society and academia, policies can be developed to improve gender equality and for women academics as part of the academic community.
