 FACTORS INHIBITING FEMALE MANAGERS’ ADVANCEMENT TO SENIOR POSITIONSIris Ron ()
Review of Economic and Business Studies, 2020, issue 26, 99-122 Abstract: This literature review will examine the internal and external factors that hinder female managers' advancement to senior positions in the Israeli labor market. The cultural framework consists of several main elements that guide gender roles. During the COVID-19 period, women experienced more difficulties associated with the new constraints and guidelines than men in workplaces. The review is divided into internal and external factors in four main areas: sociology, economics, human capital, and legislation. The glass ceiling for a female manager is created in an organization whose structure is not suitable for the inclusion of women and mothers. From an early age, boys and girls experience different attitudes according to gender, social expectations, perception of themselves, social disparities, economic dependence, and discrimination. Changing the perception of gender roles in all areas of life may change workplace culture. Legislation and enforcement may create a gender balance in public and private sectors.
