Exploring the Influence of Organizational Culture, Organisational Structure and Pay Structure on Career Progression for Women in the Tech Industry

Abstract

Women's career progression in the tech industry is stagnant, which causes concern about the opportunities for women in this sector. This study explores the complex relationship between organisational culture, structure, and pay in shaping the progression of women's careers. The proposed conceptual framework illustrates the significant factors in promoting inclusive environments to facilitate women's professional development. The glass ceiling theory explains the systemic organisational obstacles that prevent women from advancing inside organisations. The results emphasise that organisations and policymakers need to tackle these barriers to promoting gender equality and establishing conditions that support women's success and economic empowerment.
