  Yildiz, Sebahattin; Sakal, Onder; Alhas, Fidan; Kosa, Gozde

  The purpose of this study is to investigate the validity of the concept glass cliff in the sample of Turkey. A questionnaire was applied to 407 students who took the course of business administration in Kafkas University. In the study, it was investigated which one from two candidates (a male and a female) for a vacant senior management position, is perceived to be more preferable at which period (whether it is the positive financial performance period or the negative financial performance period). The dimensions of suitability, leadership ability and reliability were used while making the selection for the glass cliff position. The participants were asked to evaluate the questions concerning these dimensions at separate periods (in the positive financial performance scenario and in the negative financial performance scenario). It was concluded in the study that the participants did not perceive the female manager candidate to have a higher potential as a CEO in a scenario in which the company performance is negative. In conclusion, the concept of glass cliff which is applicable in countries with high level of masculinity can be asserted not to be invalid in Turkey, where the masculinity is low.

  Glass Cliff: When Do Female Executives Exceed Glass Ceiling?

  Yildiz, Harun; Alhas, Fidan; Yildiz, Sebahattin; Sakal, Önder

  The concept of glass ceiling refers to the career barriers in front of women in reaching the senior management positions. These career barriers are caused by male executives, female executives, and the barriers placed by individuals themselves. The concept of glass cliff, on the other hand, is important as it constitutes a new career barrier for women to reach their career goals. The concept of glass cliff refers that women exceeding the glass ceiling find themselves in the senior management position under negative conditions of their company. This concept is a risky position given to women for failing during the crisis periods of company. The factors causing the glass cliff involve personality, gender, organizational performance, organizational factors, group dynamics, and ambivalent sexism. This concept was developed by male managers in order to take the female executives to senior management positions under negative performance conditions of the company and make them say "women cannot be managers anyway" after the failure. Men who want the failure of women who are thought to have a difficulty in coping with stress will assign women as executives during the crisis periods and "push them into a glass cliff". Having the quality of a review, this study aims to introduce the concept of glass cliff and report the studies on glass cliff in literature. The main contribution of this study is that it is the first Turkish study that has ever been conducted regarding glass cliff.
