摘要：Using an exploratory qualitative approach based on in depth interviews with 72 executive and middle managers, this article explores barriers to career progress of females in acquiring top management positions and the challenges that come with such career development within the Nigerian context. Data was obtained through structured interviews of women working in the manufacturing, banking, insurance, telecommunication, and two public service sectors in Nigeria. The findings suggest that the challenges posed by individual factors i.e. cultural expectation of female within the family set up and Nigerian society and organizational factors within their context of operation are key barriers perceived by female managers to attaining the highest positions
