Through the questionnaire survey of the glass ceiling phenomenon of female practitioners in Chinese pharmaceutical enterprises and the in-depth interview of Shandong Benzhen Cosmetics Co., Ltd. to collect data, and finally analyze the causes of this phenomenon at the three levels of individuals, organizations and society.
