Pursuing sustainability development goals through adopting gender equality: Women representation in leadership positions of emerging market multinationals

AbstractThis study examines the competitive disadvantages rationale behind the pursuing of Sustainability Development Goals (SDGs) by emerging market multinational corporations (EM‐MNCs) in foreign markets. We argue that EM‐MNCs may pursue gender equality goal in host markets as a legitimation strategy to offset their strategic disadvantages inherited from the home markets. Based on a sample of foreign subsidiaries from 10 major emerging countries from 2010 to 2020, this study finds strong evidence demonstrating that the institutional quality of home markets exerts a positive effect on the representation of women in leadership positions of EM‐MNCs. Additional analyses demonstrate that international experience and institutional ownership further magnify this effect.

El Techo de Cristal en Universidades Públicas de México. Un Análisis Exploratorio

Este estudio tiene como objetivo identificar el nivel de participación de mujeres en posiciones de liderazgo a nivel central en las Universidades Públicas de México durante el año 2018. Se recabó información de los sitios web de 37 Universidades Públicas, así como de otros sitios web inherentes a la educación superior como CONACYT, ANUIES y ANFECA. A través del uso de técnicas estadísticas descriptivas y de correlación, los resultados muestran que en 2018, no se ha alcanzado la paridad de género en posiciones directivas a nivel central, obteniendo un promedio de 36% de representación femenina. Además se concluye que el tamaño de la Universidad no incide significativamente en el nivel de inclusión de mujeres en posiciones de liderazgo a nivel central. Los resultados obtenidos sugieren que es necesario fortalecer la política de paridad en posiciones de pirmer nivel en las Universidades Públicas en México, por lo que este trabajo identifica áreas de oportunidad y recomendaciones para incrementar la paridad de genero en las Universidades Públicas mexicanas. Este estudio es pionero en México, por lo que futuras investigaciones podrían analizar la influencia de las mujeres en indicadores de desempeño académico o incluso extenderse a otras universidades latinoamericanas.

Factors Influencing Women’s Representation in Leadership Positions: In Case of Ensaro Woreda Public Service Sectors, Amhara Region, Ethiopia

The issue of women on management position is gaining attention globally. Governments signed major human right treaties including the most important women’s conventions to improve women’s participation in management positions. Even though the government’s effort to provide equal opportunities for women and design non-discriminatory policies, the existences of glass ceiling practices undermine their progress. The objective of the study was examining factors influencing women representation in leadership positions in Ensaro woreda public sectors. To achieve the objective of the study 203 representative samples have taken trough proportionate stratified sampling method. And a series of statistical analysis have done. Descriptive statistics were used to describe the existing situation of women’s representation of leadership in the public sectors, whereas, inferential statistics were used to investigate the association of women’s representation with the set of predictor variables. Binary logistic regression result shows that cultural belief and attitude, insufficient capacity building, lack of professional training, inflexible working hours, inadequate experience, family commitments, inadequate job knowledge, inadequate academic qualification, lack of motivation and interests, limited access of advanced education and overall organizational culture have a significant effect on the under representation of women’s leadership in public sectors. The study finding revealed that organizational and personal factors seem to have major contributors as compared to societal factors that hindered women representation in leadership position in public sectors. Finally, it is recommended that; awareness creation and counselling service should have given about gender equality, public sectors should be committed to encouraging women’s to have a leadership positions, capacity building and special training should be given for women to increase the number of women leaders.
