Kvinnor som ledare inom industriföretag : En studie om hur kvinnor kan ta sig tillledande positioner

Åström, Agnes, Ljungman, Evelina January 2014 (has links)
Research question: How does the industrial company Scania work to get more women in leadership positions? Purpose: The purpose of this work is to describe how companies in a male-dominated industry can work to get a higher share of female leaders. Method: This survey was based on a deductive approach with a qualitative method. Theories have been obtained primarily from scientific articles and the empirical part has been collected through interviews from the companies Wiminvest and Scania. Conclusion: The conclusions the study came up with was different elements that companies in male-dominated industries can work with to get a higher share of female leaders. The first thing that companies can do is to join the project BON or similar projects to work on this issue. They can work with workshops and lectures to disseminate knowledge about the topic. Companies can also create a central function with the responsibility to control the equality work in the organization. They can also work on creating clear goals in terms of gender equality in the company. Companies in this industry can work on to bring more mentors and role models through different communication channels and to design career plans and development opportunities for women. A talent pool or something similar for women can be helpful to create where women can have a valuable network and thereby find mentors and role models. Companies can work with reviewing their recruitment process by, for example, to advertise all positions, for a longer period, try to have an equal distribution of men and women at the recruitment for managerial positions and create a clearer profile of requirements. / Frågeställning: Hur arbetar industriföretaget Scania för att få in fler kvinnor i ledande positioner? Syfte: Syftet med detta arbete är att beskriva hur företag inom en mansdominerad bransch kan arbeta för att få in en högre andel kvinnliga ledare. Metod: Denna undersökning har utgått från en deduktiv ansats med en kvalitativ metod. Teorier har inhämtats främst från vetenskapliga artiklar och empiridelen har insamlats med hjälp av intervjuer från företagen Wiminvest och Scania. Slutsats: De slutsatser som studien kom fram till var olika faktorer som företag i mansdominerade branscher kan arbeta med för att få in en högre andel kvinnliga ledare. Det första som företagen kan göra är att gå med i liknande projekt som BON för att arbeta med denna fråga. De kan arbeta med workshops och föreläsningar för att sprida kunskap om ämnet. Företagen kan även skapa en central funktion som har till ansvar att styra jämställdhetsarbetet i organisationen. De kan även arbeta med att skapa tydliga mål när det gäller jämställdheten i företaget. De kan även arbeta med att skapa tydliga mål när det gäller jämställdheten i företaget. Företagen inom denna bransch kan arbeta med att få in fler mentorer och förebilder genom olika kommunikationskanaler samt utforma karriärplaner och utvecklingsmöjligheter för kvinnor. En talangpool eller något liknande för kvinnor kan vara bra att skapa där de kan få ett värdefullt nätverk och därigenom hitta mentorer och förebilder. Företagen kan arbeta med att se över sin rekryteringsprocess genom att till exempel annonsera ut alla tjänster under en längre tid, försöka ha en jämn fördelning av män och kvinnor vid tillsättning av en chefsposition samt skapa en tydligare kravprofil.

The “Top” woman in the Organization : An assessment of females' current and future situation in high responsibility positions

Belghali, Moulay Ghali, Olichon, Samuel January 2008 (has links)
The problem for women in the work market has been and is still being widely studied from different domains and fields, there is however still countless fissures linked to it. Even though the gender equality has comprehensively increased in recent decades, it is still apparent in high responsibility positions. This situation caught our attention and stimulated us to analyse the women’s condition within organizations. Scholars have developed different theories linked to organizations, but our complex and fast developing society has surpassed most of these classical theories, making them either partially or totally irrelevant. For instance standards such as hierarchical organizations, individualism and aggressiveness are no longer considered as the most efficient values. This work investigates the barriers that women have to overcome in order to break though leading positions, as well as the identification of female and male leadership and their stereotypes’ consequences. Accordingly, we intend to propose solutions and new approaches liable to help integrating more women in high profile positions. We are aspiring to create a new trend representing successful leadership that is no longer correlated to the male stereotype. The theoretical part engages in theories surrounding female gender leadership as well as gender related barriers, while the empirical method involves the conduction of semi structured interview with women in high management positions, with the aim of setting up a solid ground for analysis and discussion. Due to this fact, we believe that the woman is the future of the organization, therefore we firstly call for the implementation and the reinforcement of the female “role model” and secondly encourage companies to adopt and promote our new concept of “the ecological organization” in order to achieve a more flexible, balanced and sane organizational culture in a foreseeable future.
