Abstract :

It has been observed that during the last few years a lot of women are going in management field but not a lot of them are getting an opportunity to get into the top management positions. This has got nothing to do with their abilities and dedication to their work, it is clear that glass ceiling is affecting and stopping the women from reaching the top management positions. This is because despite the boom in education sector, the society still remains conservative and negative feelings and stereotypes do exist against women employees.
