THE ROLE OF WOMEN IN BUREAUCRACIES: LEADERSHIP, DEMOCRACY, AND POLITICS
LUMINITA IONESCUABSTRACT. Scholarly research reveals strong correlations between the incompleteness of women’s citizenship, the emergence of organized women’s engagements in formal politics, women’s political participation, the moral potential of leadership, and the development and promotion of moral or ethical leadership in organizations. The purpose of this paper is to gain a deeper understanding of women’s participation as business leaders, the leadership styles of men and women, the nature of the public sphere institutions in which women participate, and women’s political representation. pp. 138–143
