- W2105678032 abstract "Leadership styles have been shown to have an impact on the success or failure of projects inorganizations. Effective leadership is therefore required by organizations to ensure thesuccessful delivery of projects. The study aimed at investigating the leadership styles utilizedby women project managers in the Eskom Enterprise Division and possible barriers thatprevent them from reaching top positions. The study utilized leadership theories as thetheoretical framework and used the qualitative research approach. In-depth, semi-structuredinterviews were conducted with 15 female project managers in Eskom Enterprise Division andthematic analysis was used to analyze the data. Certain leadership styles and characteristicswere identified as being critical for successful project managers. The characteristics that thesewomen project managers exhibit described qualities of transformational, democratic andpeople oriented leadership styles. The women project managers seem to be successful andthere were a number of factors that contributed to their success. The female project managersdid not believe that gender should determine their leadership style, but they believed thatworking as a project manager required certain leadership skills and competencies to meet theproject’s objectives and the leadership style was not influenced by gender. Some of thebarriers identified were: gender stereotyping, lack of qualifications, fear of not succeeding,family responsibilities and lack of networking skills and time. Most of the women believe thatbreaking some of the barriers requires that they should work twice as hard as their malecounterparts, and that they should prove wrong the stereotype that men are better projectmanagers. Furthermore, the findings show that Eskom has few women occupying topmanagement positions. Eskom is still a male dominated environment even though initiativesfor gender transformation exist." @default.
