Abstract: Abstract The aim of this research paper is to evaluate and analyze the impact of the glass ceiling phenomenon on the career advancement of female employees in the United Arab Emirates. The study collected data from 490 individuals and used Microsoft Excel and R Studio for analysis. The variables were simplified and transformed using the principal component analysis (PCA) and one-hot encoding method. The collected data was summarized, coded, and verified to ensure accuracy and consistency. The Kruskal–Wallis Hypotheses technique was used to analyze the selected hypotheses. The study found that various organizational and situational factors significantly affect women's career advancement in the UAE. Moreover, 79.59 %of female employees in the education and banking sectors of Dubai and Sharjah strongly agreed that glass ceiling factors hinder their career progression. This research is the first to address the glass ceiling factors that impact the career advancement of female employees in these two sectors of the economy.
