This research was descriptive-causal in terms of nature and method, also was applied in terms of purpose and in terms of research directions, it was one of the basic researches and the research data was collected by the questionnaire tool. The statistical population of the research was made up of all the female education workers of Hashtgerd city, and were selected 316 people from the table of Gorjesi and Morgan by random sampling. We used confirmatory factor analysis to analyze the data and used path analysis of structural equations to calculate path coefficients with the help of Amos Graphics software estimates.Based on the results of the path analysis, respectively, the total effects of the reduction of perceived interactional justice and the reduction of perceived procedural justice, the development of the career path and the reduction of perceived distributive justice on the glass ceiling were significant and the aforementioned variables could explain only 20% of the changes in the dependent variable. It can be said that by comparing the beta coefficients: the glass ceiling is more affected by the reduction of perceived interactive justice and the reduction of perceived procedural justice.
