As for the factor analysis and the reliability analysis on the collected samples, the study worked with Cronbach's α, an output coefficient of internal consistency. Results of the empirical research reported that glass ceiling has a significant effect on job satisfaction, and job satisfaction significantly works for these sub-factors of organizational performance which are organizational commitment and turnover intention.
