Abstract
This study concentrates on the potential effects of glass ceiling and queen bee syndrome in establishing high quality exchange (leader member exchange) with subordinates. The study analyses if gender plays a significant role in determining exchange with subordinates. Data was collected from white-collar employees at Turkish business context by using Liden Maslyn (1998) multi-dimension Leader Member Exchange assessment tool.
