Investigating gender barriers in attaining occupational and managerial positions from the perspective of employees and professors of Islamic Azad University, Roudehen Branch Dr. Hassan Hashemi Daran Narjes Ebadati The purpose of conducting this research is to investigate the effect of gender on attaining occupational (managerial) positions at Islamic Azad University, Roudehen Branch, while simultaneously addressing various issues such as women's participation, understanding the social status of women, promoting the organizational and administrative status of women, the reasons for women's inability to reach high managerial levels, and the cultural, personality, and organizational dimensions of women's employment in managerial positions.
The results obtained from the Pearson correlation coefficient and regression methods showed that interest, self-confidence, and effort, individual characteristics, gender attitudes toward managerial positions, certain laws and regulations, and also experience and training, are effective in attaining managerial positions.
Another issue for entering executive and senior management positions is the debate over meritocracy, which includes topics such as education, experience, age, gender, individual distinction, appearance, race, and nationality (Rahman Setayesh, 1382), while Rusaws 4 (1994) states that the work environment and job roles possess greater importance for advancement than training, education, and efforts in gathering necessary characteristics; political sectors, parliaments, and commercial units are the main channels of political activities.
The result of the research shows that the cultural attitudes of society as well as the organizational structure prevent the promotion of women to high management levels.
The results of the research by Pahlevan (1384) indicate the existence of a relationship between the level of education and attaining management positions.
