Abstract
This study investigated and compared the impact of women glassceiling
beliefs (denial, resilience, acceptance, and resignation) on
their perceived career progression with a moderating role of education
in Pakistan and Saudi Arabia. This is a time-lagged study. Multigroup
analysis and permutations in Smart PLS is used for comparative
data analysis. Results show significant differences in the impacts
of glass-ceiling beliefs on women’s career progression in two different
countries. Where education plays an important role in mitigating
the negative effects of glass ceiling beliefs proving the same among
the two samples of different countries. This study provides significant
theoretical and practical implications for policymaking and
organizational practices to give due consideration to women’s glassceiling
beliefs and their career progression through education.
