Abstract

Numerous studies have revealed that men are more frequently leaders than women. The gender gap appears in organizations of all sizes and types around the world, whether in business, education, NGOs, or other settings and industries. This issue is not exclusive to one culture or one particular nation. In higher-level companies, there are especially noticeable gender inequalities between managers and leaders. As a leader, there is a gender gap, but it is getting less over time, according to this article’s summary of some of the literature that examines its causes. In other words, as time acts as a moderator, the gender gap in leadership is gradually closing. In terms of methodology, this current paper mainly uses the year 2000 as the cut-off point for existing research (the reason for selecting this time point will be explained in the main body) and selects some relevant research conclusions for analysis. The article finally puts forward reasonable suggestions for researchers and practitioners to refer to when facing gender differences in the workplace.
