A Qualitative Case Study on Issues of Women's Empowerment in Malaysia's Corporate Landscape
Main Article Content
Abstract
This qualitative case study investigates the intricate challenges hindering women's empowerment within Malaysian corporations. The research identifies systemic barriers impacting women's professional progress, access to leadership roles, and overall job satisfaction. Using a qualitative research methodology, the study captures diverse subjective experiences through in-depth interviews with professional women across various industries in Malaysia. Through thematic analysis, the findings highlight key issues such as cultural stereotypes, unequal pay, limited leadership representation, and work-life balance challenges. By uncovering the nuanced dynamics of these barriers, the study contributes to understanding the complexities surrounding women's disempowerment in the Malaysian business environment. These insights provide valuable perspectives for policymakers, corporate leaders, and scholars aiming to dismantle barriers to gender equality.
