Despite the fact that women have gained power within
societies in every area of life and have thus transcended their previously
traditional places, they still tend to encounter problems in their management
duties. These problems naturally impact a woman’s business life, reducing their
work motivation. Some of the problems
that women encounter while performing their management duties in public
organizations need to be resolved. This article aims to bring solutions to
these problems and thus contribute to the literature. It is also believed that
resolving women’s problems will improve their standing, both in public and
private sector management offices, therefore contributing to the national
economy. This research was grounded upon this justification. The purpose of
this research is to determine the problems that women encounter in the course
of performing their management duties in Turkish public organizations. Data for
the research was acquired in 35 interviews with female managers working in
public management offices. A semi-structured interview form was prepared for
this purpose. Since the research is of qualitative nature, interview questions
were established as open-ended questions. The data was obtained using the
qualitative “content analysis” method. The data were evaluated using the NVIVO
11 package software. 68 statements were obtained as a result of
the interviews. According to the
findings of the study, the problems faced by women in management were
identified with 68 statements. The findings of the study were grouped under
three components. At the conclusion of the research, problems that
female managers faced in public organizations were specified. The problems were
grouped in three categories, namely psychological,
socio-cultural and environmental factors.
