Abstract: This research studied the relationship between gender, age, education and the attitudes towards managerial women in Puerto Rico. A mixed methodology was utilized. The samples consisted of 564 sub graduated and graduated students, quantitative phase, and 25 managerial women, qualitative phase, who worked in Puerto Rico. Two instruments were used for the quantitative phase: a Scale of Attitudes Toward Women Who Occupied Management Positions (Alvarez, 1994) and a social demographical data sheet. For the qualitative phase, semi structured interviews and another social demographical data sheet were used. The quantitative data was analyzed using ANOVA procedures and t-test. The qualitative data was analyzed using content analysis. This is the first research in Puerto Rico which has been done with a mixed methodology studying the attitudes toward managerial women and presenting these women’s experiences in the corporative world.
