WOMEN IN WORK ENVIRONMENT: AN EXAMINATION OF SHREDS OF EVIDENCES

Abstract

The importance of inclusivity for women in the nation’s progress cannot be questioned. It is evident from the past literature that women face multiple types of issues at their workplaces. This systematic literature review-based study was planned to explore the issues, challenges, or hindrances faced by women in their workplaces. The literature was searched, and applying inclusive and exclusive criteria, thirteen articles were shortlisted for review. PRISMA guidelines were applied to perform the selection and analysis of the studies. The results indicated that females faced the issues such as; gender stereotypes, work-home balance, social problems, lack of basic needs, individual problems, and administrative/organizational problems, male chauvinism and negative attitudes toward female work performance. This study would be a good addition to the literature as it threw light upon the workplace related issues of females.
