Abstract
We investigated the status of women in corporate governance in Indian private sector enterprises. A quantitative empirical study was conducted on a convenient sample of 22 women who are members of the supervisory board or the board of directors of BSE 100 companies in India. An in-depth interview was used as a research tool. A 5-point Likert scale questionnaire was prepared to address a few objectives. The study documents that, despite the numerous misconceptions encountered in their job, women generally believe they are appreciated equally by their male co-workers. Achieving work–life balance is a significant problem because of the complex nature of women’s roles in their home and professional lives. The study also documents that women’s development in corporate governance bodies is based on the assistance they get from the more extensive system and society. Research identifies the antecedents of corporate governance and work environment. This research contributes to the study of corporate governance in the workplace. It offers insights into how women handle social bias and work–life balance to succeed professionally. The study’s outcome is helpful for all the stakeholders to understand the various factors which significantly influence women’s position in the work environment to make corporate governance more effective.
