This review paper, based on survey of literature in the field of women in management, presents a panoramic view of the organisational themes that recur in research during the past about four decades. The field of women in management spans a variety of disciplines ranging from feminism to gender studies and the role of women in society, family and organisations. Coupled with the fact that women increasingly play an important role in all these areas, research in the field has traversed a number of themes, issues, sectors, industries, and organisations.
This review article identifies several broad organisational themes in the literature on women in management. Several themes such as work-life balance, gender inequality and glass ceiling syndrome constitute a common thread across different organisations. There are but few research studies that might address questions related to the nature or type of organisation as a differentiator. Issues such as feminine values causing women managers to gravitate towards certain professions, careers, and organisation are yet to be addressed adequately in literature. This paper suggests several questions that could form the basis for propositions that could be investigated in future researches.

This review paper, based on survey of literature in the field of women in management, presents a panoramic view of the geographic component of spatial themes that recur in research during the past about four decades. The field of women in management spans a variety of disciplines ranging from feminism to gender studies and the role of women in society, family and organisations. Coupled with the fact that women increasingly play an important role in all these areas, research in the field has traversed a number of themes and issues.
This review article identifies broad geographic spaces in the literature and the issues related to women managers in those geographies. The geographic spaces are in terms of continents of Africa, Americas, Asia, Australasia, and Europe. While many studies reported may be confined to one geographic space yet there are a number of studies that transcend one specific space and incorporate elements of the other prevalent research themes in women in management such as behaviour and organisations. This results in a rich tapestry of research studies. In view of the abundance of studies reported in literature, this paper picks up some representative research studies to demonstrate the nature, content, and direction of research in this challenging field.Keywords

Inspiration of this paper is to review the academic literature on the subject of women from an Indian perspective in any given organization. Another reason is to provide a comprehensive bibliography and suggest a method of categorizing that literature. Several online databases were explored to provide ample listing of doctoral theses and journal articles on women in management. Consecutively, to measure the direct significance to women in management, several hundred articles were ascertained and evaluated. A select list of articles were thus selected each of which were further examined and categorized. All papers were distributed to the main and sub-categories based on the major focus of each paper. Research on women in management falls into three broad categories: work-life balance; gender inequality; and glass ceiling effect. Each of these categories has a few sub-categories each. The most popular research area on the subject of women in management in India is work-life balance.Keywords
