“…In the highly pressured context of the NHS there is a need to nurture and retain talented nursing staff, along with a requirement to address this gap in knowledge and provide more effective support to female nurse leaders (Alghamdi et al, 2017;Newman, 2015). This study responds to calls for robust longitudinal, qualitative research to advance knowledge of the intricacies of the glass-ceiling (Elacqua et al, 2009;Jackson et al, 2014). It addresses this gap by drawing on attribution theory as an overarching framework, to qualitatively capture areas of sense-making related to participants' specific experiences of the glass-ceiling over time (Martinko et al, 2011;Wyatt and Silvester, 2015).…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to present a longitudinal, qualitative study exploring changes in the attributional constructions of sense-making in the perceptions and lived experiences of the glass-ceiling among a cohort of female mental health nurses in the National Health Service who participated in a 12-month multi-faceted career and leadership development pilot programme compared to a matched control group. Design/methodology/approach The authors interviewed 27 female mental health nurses in the UK who participated in a multi-faceted development programme specifically designed to support female nurses secure career advancement and 27 members of a matched control group who did not experience the programme. Participants engaged in semi-structured telephone interviews at three separate time points (six months apart) over a 12-month period. Findings Programme participants differed in their attributional constructions of sense-making in relation to the glass-ceiling over time compared to the matched control group, e.g., triggering understandings and awakenings and re-evaluating the glass-ceiling above when promoted. Findings are used to theorise about the glass-ceiling as a concept that shifts and changes over time as a function of experience. Practical implications Practical implications include important organisational outcomes in relation to fostering the career advancement and retention of talented female leaders at all career stages. Originality/value The authors present the first known longitudinal, qualitative study to explore changes in attributional constructions of sense-making in perceptions and experiences of the glass-ceiling among female nurses over time compared to a matched control group.

“…Many organizations develop diversity management and inclusion programs to combat racial challenges in the workforce, but do not strategically plan to increase leadership positions for minorities. Thus, it is plausible to imagine that some minority nurses experience the concrete ceiling effect, and subsequently are deterred from leadership positions because of perceived impenetrable barrier that prevents them from advancing 5,9,10…”

The “glass escalator” refers to the structural advantage that males possess in female-dominated occupations that tend to enhance their careers. Males are less likely to enter female-dominated occupations, but when they do, they tend to rise faster and quicker to upper levels of leadership. There is limited research on the glass escalator and its effect on nursing. However, the concept has far-reaching effects for both nurse leaders and the nursing profession. Thus, a critical examination of this phenomenon is crucial. Although males represent 10% of the nursing workforce, they hold close to half of top leadership positions in nursing. While the impact of the glass escalator is clear for White males, it does not appear to apply to minority males or persons of color equally or equitably. In light of each of these factors, it is crucial that nurse leaders understand the glass escalator phenomenon, prior and current research, its implications, and have clear suggestions for addressing it in the workplace moving forward.
