| This study explores the relationship between women's glass ceiling beliefs and their satisfaction with career advancement in Egyptian public banks, with a particular focus on middle managers. This study explores how four key glass ceiling beliefs – resilience, denial, acceptance and resignation – shape career advancement satisfaction among female middle managers. Using a quantitative approach, data was gathered from 247 female middle managers employed at Banque Misr, Banque Du Caire, and the National Bank of Egypt. Through statistical analyses, including multiple regression and correlational analysis, significant relationships emerged: acceptance and resignation were positively correlated with career advancement satisfaction, whereas resilience was negatively associated. These findings provide valuable insights into women’s experiences with the glass ceiling in Egyptian public banks and the factors influencing career advancement satisfaction. Ultimately, the study aims to inform strategies that promote gender equality and inclusivity by addressing glass ceiling barriers in organizational settings. | ||||
