Abstract: Abstract Research purpose This paper aims to examine the impact of institutional design, glass ceiling syndromes, traditional stereotypes on gender equality in public organizations in Egypt, and finally the effect of age as a moderating factor of the relation between the dependent and independent variables. Research methodology Both qualitative and quantitative research approaches were utilized, employing self-administered questionnaires and in-depth interviews to test the research hypotheses. Research findings The findings indicate that institutional design factors significantly affect gender equality, while traditional stereotypes also have a significant impact. However, the "Glass Ceiling Syndrome" was found to have no significant effect. Moreover, the study reveals that women's age plays a positive moderating role in the relationship between institutional design, glass ceiling syndromes, traditional stereotypes, and gender equality. Originality/value The originality and value of this study lie in its examination of age as a moderator in the relationship between dependent and independent variables, specifically institutional design, glass ceiling syndromes, traditional stereotypes, and gender equality. The inclusion of age as a moderating factor led to interesting findings, demonstrating its positive influence in shaping gender equality outcomes in public organizations.
