| Many organizations are employing women at a higher rate than seen in previous years, yet women are still underrepresented in leadership roles. In this paper, I examine factors that may influence an individual's perceived capabilities of being a leader, such as perception of self-agency and workplace incivility. The inequality seen in the workplace illustrates that there are barriers to women's advancement to leadership roles. Therefore, this study illustrates that future research is needed to discover key factors that may prevent women from pursuing leadership and obtaining positions. |
