Abstract
This study will use quantitative methods to survey the participants' perceptions about their experience and to gather historical data (% increase in salary, time spent in various job classifications etc.). A grounded theory approach will be used to interview six to ten women to gain insights into their specific perceptions of their career experiences and to try to determine if there are similarities in the factors affecting their careers.
It is hoped that the outcomes of this proposed study will contribute much needed information about the experience of women as they journeyed from non-managerial to management positions, and that the outcomes will be able to be used as a direct intervention to build a career development program for women.
