This study was carried out to examine the effects of professional equality towards
access of women to managerial and leadership positions in private petroleum
productions and distribution organizations in Tanzania. Specific objectives were to i)
assess managers’ perceptions towards women in managerial and leadership roles in
fuel and petroleum companies; ii) to assess managerial diversity influence on access
of women in managerial and leadership roles in fuel and petroleum companies and; iii)
to assess the benefits of gender diversity in fuel and petroleum organizational
performance. The study employed an explanatory cross-sectional design whereby
purposive sampling procedure was used to select 35 respondents who were in the
managerial positions. In addition to that, the study employed questionnaire and
documentary review as data collection methods. Moreover, data analysis was done
through descriptive data analysis. Findings indicate that, most of respondents strongly
disagreed that men were more capable of effective performance in some professions
than women. In addition to that, majority of respondents strongly agreed that women’s
challenge of balancing personal life and working life due to their social cultural
defined roles affect professional equality. Furthermore, it is found that gender diversity
was certainly one of the keys to professional equality which offers access for women
to managerial roles. Moreover, majority of respondents agreed that diversity enhances
recognition of achievement which improved performance of the employees and
organizational performance in terms of achieving a common goal. Furthermore,
majority of respondents agreed that diversity attracted more competent and qualified
workers to work with an organization which enabled more organizational
performance. The study concludes that, professional perception towards women,
managerial diversity and benefits of gender diversity have vital role in accessibility of
women managerial and leadership positions. It is therefore recommended that there is
a need to ensure that there is equal opportunity between men and women in managerial
positions in terms of remunerations and other incentives. The study established that,
women working in similar higher positions as men receive lower numeration as their
expected time of maternity leave affects professional equality. |
