    (Akademia Bialska im. Jana Pawła II, 2024-06-28) Babuchowska, Karolina ; Marks-Bielska, Renata ; Ostrowska, Sylwia
    Subject and purpose of work: The aim of the research was to identify and assess the professional problems of women who hold managerial positions. In addition, factors influencing the female style of management were identified and the level of discrimination against women as well as the level of gender equality in Poland and in the European Union was assessed, using the gender equality index. Material and methods: Secondary data from the European Institute for Gender Equality were used. The opinion of women was found out on the basis of the survey research. Results: Based on the data collected from the European Institute for Gender Equality, it was found that Poland is close to achieving gender equality in management – 43% of all management positions in Poland were held by women. However, the respondents had a different opinion on this subject. Less than 17% of the respondents stated that men and women are treated the same. Conclusions: Such a result may be influenced by the existing phenomenon of discrimination, differences in remuneration despite performing the same functions, burdening women with raising children and the existing stereotypes that men perform better in managerial positions, women are less courageous, and men are more available. Therefore, steps should be taken to provide real support for women in the development of their careers, promote gender equality and counteract discrimination.
