Examining Gender Equality in Various Organizational and National Contexts

The often-noted positive increase in women’s participation in the workforce has not been observed equally across sectors, countries, or continents. Current literature on women’s careers, work opportunities, and experiences has examined diverse individual and contextual factors that enable or hinder their respective career progression and access to leadership positions. Building on and extending those themes, this presenter symposium adopts a multi-layered approach/lens to examine women’s career opportunities and leadership experiences in diverse organizational, professional, national and regional settings. Incorporating theoretical, ontological and epistemological diversity and drawing on systematic reviews and empirical evidence, the collection of papers showcase innovative insights into women’s career opportunities and experiences over time, including their access to and experience of leadership roles. In line with this year’s AOM theme “Creating A Better World Together”, the symposium will generate critical reflection for gender-inclusive careers, HRM and leadership scholarship, discourse, policy, and practice in various contexts such as USA, Canada, UK, Belgium, Sweden, India, Bangladesh, Mexico.
