Women Leaders in the Corporate Sector

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Korean Women in Leadership

Part of the book series: Current Perspectives on Asian Women in Leadership ((CPAWL))

Abstract

The purpose of this chapter is threefold: to review the literature on Korean women leaders in the corporate sector, to share the study findings of our recent research on women leaders in the corporate sector, and to present insights into developing corporate women leaders and women in the leadership pipeline. Hearing women leaders’ own voices concerning current practices of their work–life balance and leadership development in the workplace in which they face cultural and organizational constraints has helped us better understand the challenges and barriers they face. This chapter covers background, corporate women leaders’ status in the labor market, corporate women leaders’ challenges and opportunities, and future research agendas.
