| Abstract

This study is significant to Saudi Arabian educational leaders because the study may help to show the existence of the glass ceiling that women face in Saudi Arabian higher education institutions, as well as to give them ideas on ways to break through the glass ceiling. The purpose of this mixed methods study was to examine whether women faculty in Saudi universities perceived a glass ceiling when seeking senior leadership positions such as: president, vice president, dean, vice dean, head departments, vice of head department, and other higher level administrative leadership positions within their university, and if so, to explore the reasons for why the glass ceiling was there. This study took place at two sites—an Urban and Suburban University in Saudi Arabia. The sample included all of the Saudi women and men faculty members at the two universities. This study conducted a survey (211) and interviews (28) of Saudi faculty focusing on five barriers identified in the literature as contributing to a glass ceiling, which include: culture, social segregation, discrimination, institutional barriers and personal barriers. Participants confirmed that these barriers existed but in different levels of influence, which showed that the major barriers are institutional barriers. In addition, participants demonstrated the barriers through their examples, and they gave suggestions for how Saudi women might break through the glass ceiling in Saudi Arabian public universities. Most of the suggestions focused on university policy and regulations.
