Journal Title: Journal of Economics, Finance and Management Studies - Year 2024, Vol 7, Issue 04

Abstract

This study sought to assess the factors impacting women in senior leadership within the public sector in South Africa, using a particular Department as a case study. The study used a qualitative approach, where data was gathered using semi-structured interviews and analysed using thematic analysis. The main finding was that women in leadership have limited access to networks and mentorship opportunities, and unequal pay and compensation. These challenges were found to have various implications for women leaders as well as for the organisation and society.
