Abstract

AbstractThis article reports the results of a study on the career development and aspirations of women in middle management positions in business firms. The major research method was individual case studies, which relied on face‐to‐face interviews with a sample of thirty women in middle management positions in fifteen Fortune 500 companies. The studies revealed the factors most pertinent to their success and the barriers that have most frequently hindered their career development or progression. The studies also disclosed that the majority aspire ultimately to attain top management positions and believe it is either very realistic or somewhat realistic that they will succeed, initiatives that HRD professionals and corporate leaders can take to maximize the human resource of women managers are also suggested.
