VILLAVICENCIO-AYUB, Erika; SALVADOR-GINEZ, Octavio e ZUNIGA CASTILLO, Brenda. Validation of the glass ceiling scale in female workers during the pandemic. Rev. Costarric. Psic [online]. 2023, vol.42, n.1, pp.97-110. ISSN 1659-2913. http://dx.doi.org/10.22544/rcps.v42i01.06.
In the workplace, some conditions based on social stereotypes hinder a working woman from accessing the same professional development opportunities as a male; therefore, the purpose of this research paper was to create and validate the Glass Ceiling Scale. An instrumental empirical study was carried out with a non-probabilistic sample of 203 Mexican women who worked during the Covid-19 pandemic. The Exploratory Factor Analysis and Confirmatory Factor Analysis yielded acceptable fit index values (NFI = .832, TLI = .900, CFI = .918, and RMSEA= .62) and with a reliability coefficient of α = .816. The scale was made up of 15 items in three factors: Overload, Glass Ceiling and Family-Work Balance, with the three-factor model being the ideal structure to measure the construct.
Results show evidence that the scale has the due psychometric properties for use in the study population and thereby generate reliable diagnoses that lead to organizational strategies to make visible and eradicate this phenomenon.
