 Denial, Resilience, Resignation or Acceptance—What Leads to Career Success? A Post-intentional Phenomenological Study Among Indian WomenPayal Mukherjee ()
Chapter Chapter 48 in Digital Economy Post COVID-19 Era, 2023, pp 763-781 from Springer Abstract: Abstract Glass ceiling beliefs affect both subjective and objective career successes of women in leadership positions in India. Using post-intentional phenomenology in 46 participants’ lived experience, this study found that the four factors of glass ceiling beliefs, denial, resilience, resignation and acceptance, can be the antecedents of career success, both subjective and objective. Contrary to the findings of CPS, however, in this study women who showed resignation had high objective career success but low subjective career success. Organizations trying to improve on their diversity and inclusion strategies need to change the way they provide support at various stages of a woman’s career. This paper gives guidelines to organizations and women individually on how to manage their glass ceiling beliefs better. The limitation of using a smaller sample at leadership levels is that it may not be representative of all women managers at other levels of hierarchy.
