metadata.name: dc.description.abstract
metadata.value: In gender studies, there is a lack of instruments to assess the severity of gender inequality in
  an organization. Gender inequality at the structural level of the organization manifests itself
  as gender asymmetry in an organization and in certain status positions. It is indicated by
  metaphors of “glass” phenomena: “glass ceiling”, “sticky floor”, “glass walls”, “glass escalator”,
  “glass rock”, “glass box”. The article is devoted to the development and testing of the author’s
  methodology for assessing structural gender barriers in an organization. The study was conducted
  using an online survey in 2020, with a sample of 273 employees aged 18 to 62 years
  (median 34 years) from various organizations. The survey included, in addition to the developed
  questionnaire for assessing structural gender barriers, a methodology for assessing gender
  inequality at the individual-behavioral and normative levels in an organization (“Doing
  gender” and “Undoing gender” scales, “Scale for the severity of norms that support gender
  inequality” (author’s development), “Perceptions of Politics Scale” (author’s modification of
  the methodology of K. Kacmar and D. Carlson). The survey also included questions about the
  characteristics of the organization to assess the criterion validity. Reliability analysis, correlation
  analysis, and structural modeling were used. The results of the study showed good reliability
  of the scales, the results of SEM analysis show that the obtained data do not correspond
  to the six-factor model. An exploratory factor analysis was carried out, the resulting onefactor
  solution explains 54 % of the variance. A positive correlation was found between the
  severity of structural gender barriers and the severity of norms that support gender inequality,
  with the presence of unfair policies in the organization and with the use of the “Undoing gender”
  individual behavioral strategy. A negative correlation was obtained with the number of
  women in high leadership positions in the organization. The obtained results testify in favor
  of the reliability, constructive and criterion validity of the new instrument. It is planned to
  further test the properties of the questionnaire on a larger sample.
