Abstract
In this study, the existence of the glass ceiling has been
analyzed in the Federal Chartered universities of Pakistan.
The study was descriptive. The data was collected through
questionnaires from the employees of the universities, using
purposive sampling techniques (n=484). The data revealed
that the glass ceiling exists in Federal Chartered Universities
of Pakistan. Elements of glass ceiling such as gender biases
and internal structure of organizations were found to exist.
Gender-based glass ceiling was found to exist for women and
not for men. The internal structures factor favors the males.
Based on discussions with the respondents, the strategies for
melting the glass ceiling have been proposed. It has been
recommended that the researchers may replicate this research
to other industries. Further, it has been recommended that the
practitioners can implement the strategies to mitigate the
glass ceiling in their organizations
