Women's career scenarios in state and corporate management (based on empirical research)

Abstract

The current social reality is characterized by the increasing opportunities for women to take on leadership positions, which has a positive impact on society as a whole. It can be argued that the current processes are part of a gradual transformation of labor norms towards gender parity. Empirical studies have shown that female leaders have made significant contributions to improving collective collaboration, enhancing organizational efficiency, implementing fair resource allocation mechanisms and promoting democratic principles within workplaces. However, despite the proven benefits of female leadership, the dominant position among managers in the Russian public and corporate sectors remains in male hands. In addition, there are still invisible gender barriers that persist despite the positive dynamics, which will require further significant efforts from all participants in social interaction.
