Als Mitorganisatorinnen eines Panels freuen wir uns besonders über Einreichungen zum Thema „**Women in leadership: Between recognition, high expectations and backlash**”
Many countries are striving for gender equality, institutionalizing both various organizational measures and legal frameworks to achieve this goal. The representation of women in leadership is seen as a key indicator of progress toward gender equality in both the workplace and in society. However, the openness to and promotion of gender equality has come with heightened expectations for female leaders, often with negative percussions. This stream explores the tensions between the legal and organizational frameworks in society and the working life experiences that promote gender equality on the one hand, and hinder the recognition of women as leaders and their achievements on the other.
We welcome papers with theoretical, methodological, and empirical focuses that explore the relationships between gender and power, especially the intersectional relationships between femininity and power, and women in leadership positions in diverse organizational and social contexts.
Beste Grüße
