GENDER DIVERSITY IN CORPORATE BOARDS IN EU: TRENDS AND CHALLENGES
Journal Title: Polish Journal of Management Studies - Year 2017, Vol 16, Issue 1
Abstract
In today’s globalized business environment organizational success depends on all employers in the organization no matter of the diversities (nationality, age, gender or race). Human resources are unique, non imitative and the most important source of competitiveness for each economy and organizations are aware of this fact. Women are representing a high percentage in the total labour force in the EU but they are still not proportionally represented in the leading positions in a workplace. For centuries women at the workplace were given the low responsibility jobs because of the balance between private and professional life. Today the situation is changed and organizations have to change, they have to learn how to conduct equality in gender diversity. Diversity is very important especially because of the flexibility of contemporary organizations. All these changes make complexity in management especially regarding the interpersonal communication, compensation management, working time etc. The aim of the paper is to analyse and determine the gender diversity at leading positions in corporations in EU countries as one of the emerging and important issues in corporate governance on the global level.<br/><br/>
