Abstract

For years, advancement and career development opportunities for women were limited, but over time, increasing involvement of women in management is evident. The more frequent inclusion of women in organizational structures has a significant impact on contemporary and substantial changes in organizational structure and managerial functions, methods of communication, problem-solving and decision-making. Based on the sample of medium-sized and large Croatian companies, this research examines the proportion of females positioned as human resource (HR) managers. It analyzes the level of knowledge, skills, and personality traits they possess, at the same time comparing those with the same data collected on their male counterparts in the same managerial positions. The results of the research show that women are more represented in management positions in the field of human resources management. Moreover, women as HR managers poses higher level of education, as well as more developed managerial skills compared to men, HR managers.
