Abstract

The present study examines the role of women as managers in Hidalgo’s labor force. It also examines the circumstances they experience during the process that led them to obtain and maintain the leadership position. Two instruments were used. The IPL (Leadership Practices Inventory) of Kouzes and Posner (2003) and a survey based on Moncayo and Zuluanga (2014). The population was 110 female managers and 330 subordinates in 22 medium-sized companies from the state of Hidalgo. The results show a high level of agreement between management and subordinates. The results demonstrate the most prevalent components of IPL are: to inspire a shared vision, enable others to act and model that way, and that the main reasons why a woman decides to seek a management position is to obtain a better salary, personal satisfaction and experience.
