女性領導：法國和台灣工作場所不平等的跨文化分析

Abstract

性別不平等影響社會的各個層面：從個人福祉到公司業績，再到全球經濟。本論文解釋了為什麼女性在領導階層中的代表性不足，以及為什麼職場性別不平等仍然是一個嚴重的問題，研究內容涵蓋了法國和台灣兩個不同的社會文化背景。本研究將採用質性研究和跨文化比較的方法。訪談採用 Braun & Clarke (2006) 的主題分析法進行。我們的主要發現包括女性在職業生涯中面臨的各種障礙，例如性別刻板印象和領導期望。我們研究了這些障礙如何受到法國和台灣的文化和組織差異的影響。根據所研究的理論和訪談的見解，我們反思如何改進現有的解決方案，以減少職場性別不平等。

Gender inequality has an impact on every level of our society: from individual wellbeing to companies' performance to the global economy. This thesis explains why women in leadership are underrepresented and why gender inequalities in the workplace remain a serious issue, within two different socio-cultural contexts: France and Taiwan. This research will include a qualitative approach and a cross-cultural comparison. Interviews were conducted and analyzed using Braun & Clarke (2006) thematic analysis. Our key findings include the various barriers that women face throughout their careers such as gender stereotypes and leadership expectations. We research how those barriers are influenced by the cultural and organizational differences of France and Taiwan. According to the theories studied and the insights of the interview, we reflect on ways to improve the existing solution in order to reduce gender inequality in the workplace.
