women's experience in the workplace after career advancement(Case study: Women middle managers in companies under the Ministry of Industry, Mines and Trade in the whole country)

The world experienced by women following being appointed to a managerial post is the starting point of this study. It should benoted that the factors distancing women from managerial posts never vanish following managerial post is occupied by women. Instead, we can observe atransformation in the effects of those factors. Stereotypes, gender orientation, and different socialization of women and men right after birth are followed by their different roles in society and different definitions of these roles, sexual assault and minor sexual oppression towards women, and power inequality betweenthe two genders in both society and family, all these factors remain following women’sascension to managerial posts in new yet intangible forms. Considering these factors, this study tries to provide a precise narrative following their ascension. In order to achieve this goal, I had a deep interview with 15 women in middle managerial posts in generative sections of different sections of the Ministry of Industry, Mine, and Trade scattered over the country. Utilizing the theories of socialization, gender inequality, sexual assault, and power, I have categorized and analyzed the experiences of the interviewees: Incompatibilityand conflict between gender roles and job expectations, genderdiscrimination, stigma, job insecurity, organization’s inclination to maintainpower inequality, isolation, and sexual assault.
