Although women dominate some sectors of the workforce in Mongolia, women are still a minority at decision-making levels. There is an invisible barrier (glass ceiling) to the growth of women, which does not allow them to grow. Two factors contribute to this glass ceiling: interpersonal issues and situational issue. We also examined how this glass ceiling affects workload, work engagement, job satisfaction, and motivation to quit through work-life conflict. In the study, 154 participants from Mongolian private and public universities were surveyed, and the above two factors are important in the concept of differential treatment, and finally, the concept of the glass ceiling is created. In addition, our research results show that work-family conflict affects job strain, job engagement, job satisfaction, and motivation to quit. Keywords – situational issues, interpersonal issues, organizational gender culture, differential treatment, glass ceiling, work-to-family conflict, well-being at work, organizational attitudes

The present presentation addresses translation teaching online during the COVID-19 outbreak, seeking to discover students’ perception of effective EFL online teaching and learning based on several evaluation modes. Covid 19 has a huge impact in every industry around the world. Education is the only industry that has completely transferred to online mode in most countries around the world. Online learning was the best solution for continuing education during the pandemic, especially in tertiary education. However, effectiveness of online teaching has still received ample attention and manifested in numerous articles, books and conferences. Our study data were collected using questionnaires from 63 students of the department of British and American studies, National University of Mongolia. The results showed that various methods were used to deliver online teaching courses and these approaches were found to correlate with each other. Surprisingly, students provided positive comments on online teaching and were satisfied with their online teaching and learning. Participants also noted effective ways in online EFL teaching. The findings indicated that when teachers have more training, more skills, and more confidence, they could deliver more effective online teaching and learning.

This study aims to analyse obituaries in American and Mongolian newspapers in regard to structure, content, and death euphemisms, and to explore cultural values and changes across two cultures. Twenty obituaries were selected for analysis from The New York Times (American) and the Daily News (Mongolian) due to their national rankings and popularity. Results of the study show interesting cultural and linguistic insights and some changes. Despite some similarities, content and language of the obituaries in two cultures depict dramatic differences including heavy emphasis on family devotion, community involvement, personal interests and hobbies in American culture with dominant euphemisms that conceptualized death as a journey and joyful life whereas career devotion, prestige, and endeavours in Mongolian culture with euphemisms that conceptualized death as a loss and a rest. Due to the underlying differences in the nature of obituaries in both cultures, it is suggested that obituary in the US serves more as a formal medium of announcing someone’s death while Mongolian obituary serves more as a platform to pay tribute and express condolence on behalf of the people of the country.
