Subject Areas : Public Administration
Keywords: Metacombination, Pattern, women's leadership, Women's leadership development,
Abstract :
The global economy has created a new competitive landscape in which events change continuously and unpredictably. Government organizations are very important and play a very complex role in society, despite the fact that the number of women entering various academic fields has increased, but the small number of women in leadership and management positions in recent years has attracted the attention of many public administration researchers. The current research aims to qualitatively combine the results of previous studies in the field of women's leadership development and provide a comprehensive model in this field. This study is developmental in terms of purpose, and by using the meta-composite qualitative method and the Sandelowski and Barso method, and by screening research in reliable domestic and foreign databases during the years 1990 to 2024, a comprehensive model of women's leadership growth was presented. To check the validity of Glynn's tool and measure the reliability through Cohen's kappa coefficient, it was estimated that the amount of agreement obtained was equal to 0.895. The importance and priority of indicators were determined by Shannon's entropy. The comprehensive model presented in this research has three dimensions (organizational, behavioral and individual) and six components and eighteen indicators. From the results of this research, it can be seen that the development of women's leadership requires simultaneous attention to all three dimensions of the presented comprehensive model. Therefore, all the variables obtained in the comprehensive model presented in this research should be taken into consideration in the planning of women's leadership development projects.
