SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The survey is based on initial research
conducted by Ms. Wanda Jones-Heath that highlighted women may
experience challenges or obstacles associated with gender gap,
placement in non-leadership roles, gender bias, stereotyping, and
skills being underrated during their journey to executive leader
opportunities. The 2020 Department of the Air Force (DAF) Racial
Disparity Review highlighted the fact that the DAF has not maintained a
diverse senior civilian workforce (GS13-SES level) and women are
significantly underrepresented at the senior level. The 2021 DAF
Disparity Review specifically calls outs gender as a significant
challenge at the senior level. In addition, the civilian career
progression line of effort under the barrier analysis working group is
providing barrier and challenge information from the lower level
viewpoint. If the survey is not conducted, then the research project
will not include both views which will be vital to helping the DAF
understand the barriers and determine specific actions (policy,
programs, etc.) needed to provide more opportunities to women. The
survey is a list of 13 questions using the Likert Scale that asks
participants to provide their opinion on the barriers that limit
opportunities for women to gain senior leadership positions. The
participation is voluntary and the responses are completely anonymous.
The responses will provide perspectives that would otherwise not be
available through literature review.
