Do Business Students Believe a "Glass Ceiling" Exists in the Workplace?

This study assessed whether business students believe a "glass ceiling" exists in the workplace. The 148 student respondents consisted of mostly junior and senior undergraduate business students at Eastern Michigan University. This study measured differences in male and female business students’ perceptions of the "glass ceiling". Variables in the survey instrument focused on the areas of compensation, developmental opportunities, career interruptions, work environment and culture, work attitudes, and work-family conflict.
