Abstract

Despite significant progress in gender equality, women continue to face underrepresentation in leadership roles, with many opting out of corporate careers due to persistent barriers. This is concerning, as the career advancement of women depends on their ability to stay engaged and perform effectively in the workplace which continues to adopt digital innovations. The study examines the critical role of Psychological Capital (PsyCap) in empowering female managers, especially as organizations continue to embrace digital innovations. The study also explores how Leader-Member Exchange (LMX) strengthens this relationship, contributing to performance and engagement in the workplace. This study was conducted in two subsidiaries of a multinational company, in India and Indonesia. We applied a mixed method with quantitative analysis from 104 completed questionnaires, and qualitative analysis from interviewing a total of 13 participants from both countries. The quantitative analysis shows that PsyCap plays a significant role in enhancing LMX, fostering DIB, and improving both performance and engagement. Qualitative findings highlight three core themes that emphasize how PsyCap supports female managers in navigating digital transformation challenges. This study examines PsyCap within the framework of LMX and DIB, highlighting the pivotal role of PsyCap and its dynamic interactions in enhancing the performance and engagement of female managers. Conducted in India and Indonesia, this study offers a unique cross-cultural perspective on the role of PsyCap in empowering female managers amidst digital innovation, addressing gaps in existing literature by focusing on South Asian contexts with low gender equality rankings.

Abstract

Despite the growth and dynamism within the cosmetics industry, gender disparities in senior leadership persist, raising critical questions about how an ecosystem and various forces can impact the performance and professional advancement of female leaders. This qualitative case study explores the dynamics of female managerial performance within a global cosmetics company, focusing on two subsidiaries in countries with lower gender equality indices, namely India and Indonesia. Using the modified Gender at Work Framework developed by Rao et al. (2016), the research analysed the multifaceted factors influencing the performance of female managers within this industry. By navigating the intertwined areas of company policies, resources, organisation norms, and self-consciousness, the study aims to unearth nuanced insights into female managers' challenges and opportunities in these settings. Four themes are emerging: (1) Gender Equality at work, (2) Ownership of Performance and Career, (3) Digital Capability and innovation, and (4) Support system. Other findings of this study concern the various parties and the different environments that may foster the performance of female managers. This research contributes to the broader context of gender in the workplace, shedding light on strategies to enhance the performance and advancement of female managers within the cosmetics industry, particularly in regions where gender disparities persist.
