Journal Article 2024 07 16 Studies have shown that the trends in women's organizational roles indicate that, in the future, women will hold a significant share of managerial positions and leadership roles. However, due to challenges such as stereotypical thinking and multiple responsibilities, women operate in a more challenging environment compared to men. This study aims to identify issues concerning women in organizations that will persist into the future and propose strategies for addressing them. Conducted in the context of future studies, this research adopts an exploratory qualitative approach with a thematic analysis strategy. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 21 academic and executive experts and analyzed using MAXQDA software. The findings are categorized into three main themes: contextual factors, issues, and strategies. The contextual factors are represented by the theme "trends and conditions related to women's roles in organizations," such as technological advancements and improved working conditions for women. The issues are categorized under "persistent challenges for women" such as unconscious stereotypes. Strategies are divided into two themes: "strategies for decision-makers and policymakers" such as Targeted support for women, and "strategies for women," such as raising awareness and fostering transformative initiatives. This study emphasizes the need for broader future studies in organizational management and women's roles in organizations.
