The Review of CEO Gender: Based on the Perspective of Empirical Literature

Abstract

In China, the CEO position is still dominated by men in traditional companies. However, in some emerging industries and the Internet field, there are gradually increasing numbers of female CEOs and the rise of female leadership. In the international community, male CEOs still dominate, and female CEOs are showing a gradually changing trend. CEO gender promotes economic diversity in economic construction, which helps companies better respond to market competition and changes and promotes the economic construction of enterprises. For technology, CEO gender drives innovation and problem-solving, and gender diversity encourages different ways of thinking and problem-solving, which is crucial for innovation and technological progress. At the social level, the promotion of gender diversity can help reduce gender discrimination and promote a more equal and inclusive society. All in all, the theoretical significance of CEO gender in economic construction, technological progress, and social development is to promote diversity and inclusion and create a more competitive, innovative, and just social and business environment. In practice, companies and governments should proactively take steps to ensure that more women have the opportunity to serve as CEOs and other senior leadership positions to fully leverage the advantages of gender diversity.
