Impacts of Gender Inclusivity on the Banking Sector in Bahrain

Abstract

International employment markets have been transformed due to various societal, organizational, and individuals changes these days. The last pandemic of Covid-19 has accentuated the negative impacts of changes leading to under-representation of certain groups in terms of their numbers and in relation to types of positions occupied. Women employment in organizations, as studies indicated, have been greatly influenced. Furthermore, women in leadership positions are still behind in comparison to men. Hence there are societal, organizational and individuals' calls to rectify the situations of women in leadership. Diversity, equity, and inclusion are strategic tools and methods to accomplish such rectification. This research attempts to investigate the issue of inclusivity as reflections of diversity and equity on women leadership styles in banking sector in Bahrain. The research employs qualitative methodology. In-depth interview is the research method to collect information.
