Impact of Gender on Decision-Making 

The process of decision making is one of the most complex mechanisms of human thinking, as various factors and courses of action intervene in it, with different results. The imbalance in the distribution of power and decision-making positions between women and men is a consequence of complex processes and of the interplay between multiple factors that are deeply embedded in social structures. Women are under-represented in decision-making positions worldwide. However, gender equality and diversity are recognised to have beneficial effects on organisations, institutions and the overall economy. This article provides evidence that removing the glass ceiling – the invisible barriers which prevent women from reaching upper-level positions – may produce not only more equality but also substantial efficiency gains. This study is bases on secondary date collected from various sources to find out the impact of different factors that effects decision making.
