본 연구는 우리나라 교육계열 전공 여성 박사의 학교와 직장의 진로성취과정에서 겪는 진로개발 및 진로장애를 탐색하는데 그 목적이 있다. 연구의 목적을 수행하기 위하여 최근 5년 이내의 교육계열 전공 여성 박사 42명을 대상으로 질적 연구를 진행하였다. 그 결과 교육계열 여성 박사들은 교수와의 학술활동을 통해서 자신의 진로개발에 영향을 가장 많이 받고 있었으며 둘째, 직장 내에서 유리창효과를 경험한 것으로 나타났다. 셋째, 결혼이라는 것이 기혼 및 미혼 여성 박사 모두 진로개발 시 장애요인이라고 인식했다. 기혼은 자신의 가정과 육아에 대한 책임감과 미혼은 유교적 가치관 속에서 사회적 약자로 인식하고 있었다. 이러한 다양한 경험들은 여성 박사들에게 진로개발을 저해하는 요인으로 나타났지만 주변인의 지지와 자신의 자아실현에 대한 강한 목표의식은 진로장벽을 타계하는 방편으로 나타났다. 본 연구는 여성 박사의 진로개발에는 다양한 관점에서의 맥락이 여성의 진로개발에 영향을 주는 것으로 발견되었다. 여성 박사를 위한 진로지도는 학생들의 요구와 사회 변화에 따라 유동적이고 다각적인 방향에서 접근 하는 것이 필요하다.
