The glass ceiling perception and female teacher burnout: the mediating role of work-family conflict.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

This paper aims to investigate the mediating role of work-family conflict in the relationship between the perception of the glass ceiling and female teacher burnout. The glass ceiling can create significant career barriers for women, potentially increasing work-family conflict and, in turn, leading to higher levels of burnout. Exploring these dynamics can provide insights into the underlying mechanisms contributing to female teachers' well-being and inform strategies to mitigate burnout in educational settings.

Methods

The sample population comprises 200 female teachers working in higher educational institutions in China where data has been collected via a survey questionnaire, followed by SPSS and Smart PLS to analyse and test the hypotheses.
