FOCUSING ON DETERMINANTS OF FEMALES LEADER DEVELOPMENT IN PERÚ: THE ROLES OF MENTORING AND WORK-LIFE BALANCE

Abstract

In the context of Peru, the advancement of gender equality necessitates a comprehensive understanding of the determinants influencing the progression of female leaders. The provision of guidance and support through mentoring programs emerges as a pivotal aspect, while achieving equilibrium between professional commitments and personal life assumes paramount importance for the sustained professional evolution of women. A meticulous examination of these components can elucidate strategies conducive to the elevation of women into leadership roles, thereby fostering inclusivity and broader societal progress. Consequently, the principal objective of this scholarly inquiry is to scrutinize the development of female leaders in Perú. The investigation seeks to discern the impact of entrepreneurial leadership, entrepreneurial self-efficacy, digital leadership, and entrepreneurship orientation on the advancement of female leaders in the Perui context. Employing a quantitative methodology, positivism research philosophy, and deductive reasoning, the study selected the survey strategy, involving the distribution of questionnaires among female entrepreneurs in Peru. The outcomes revealed the substantial influence of entrepreneurial leadership, entrepreneurial self-efficacy, digital leadership, and entrepreneurship orientation on the development of female leaders. Nonetheless, the effective implementation of supportive regulations may encounter impediments due to institutional barriers inherent in governmental entities and organizations.
