Social
Organizational
IndividualWomen have the same skills as
men in order to fill leadership positions, but there are differences
in behavior between men and women style which translates into
diversity of leadership styles.
Romanian Organizations are deficient regarding diversity
policies and practices
Stereotypes regarding women are low in Romanian society

Is the “glass ceiling phenomena” an important subject in
Romania?
How can explain the distribution between men and women
in middle management positions is equal and in the top
management is highly unequal ?
