Publication: Çalışma yaşamında kadın yöneticiler ve İstanbul Belediyeleri örneği
Abstract
Hem dünyada hem Türkiye’de kadınların çalışma yaşamına katılım oranı artmasına rağmen yönetim kademelerinde yeterince yer bulamamaktadırlar. Kadınlar bulundukları sektörde kariyer basamaklarını tırmanırken birden fazla engelle karşılaşmaktadır. Toplumun erkeğe ve kadına biçtiği rollerden kaynaklı olarak güçlü liderlik gerektiren konumlara kadınların gelmesi zorlaşmaktadır.Yapılan araştırmada kadınların çalışma yaşamında ve yönetici konumunda yaşadıkları zorluklar incelenmiştir. Araştırmada İstanbul belediyelerinde görev alan genel sekreter, daire başkanı, genel müdür, başkan yardımcısı, müdür olmak üzere toplam 17 kişiyle derinlemesine görüşme yapılmıştır. Kadın yöneticiler ile yapılan görüşme sonucunda üst makam tarafından iş yapma kapasitesi, insan ilişkileri iyi olan, kolay iletişim kurabilen, yönetimle aynı dili konuşan ve uyumlu, yöneticilik vasfına sahip olan kişilerin yönetici olarak seçildiği tespit edilmiştir. Ayrıca kadın yöneticiler, kadınların, çalışma hayatının bir parçası olduklarının farkına varması, eğitime önem vermesi, cesur, özgüveni yüksek, planlı, disiplinli olması ve beşeri ilişkilerinin iyi olması gibi niteliklere vurgu yapmışlardır.
