Ampiah, Esi Patricia A Thesis Submitted To The Department Of Human Resource And Organisational Development In Partial Fulfilment Of The Requirements For The Degree Of Master Of Business Administration (HRM Option). There continues to be many wrong perceptions about women in leadership roles in organizations which prevent them from achieving other higher positions. These obstacles and challenges which women often face include glass ceiling, stereotyping, equality challenges and life-style challenges. The purpose of this research is to identify the effects of these challenges in organizations which women encounter every day. The researcher considered Sekyere Rural Bank for the study to assess how women are setting themselves to challenges in the positions they occupy. Descriptive and explanatory research methods were employed in this research to be able to establish the effects that glass ceiling, stereotyping, equality challenges and leadership roles have on women who are in leadership roles at Sekyere Rural Bank. The entire population of the bank who number 166 was assessed in this research with the aid of a structured questionnaire. The findings of the research revealed information which include the facts that, despite the challenges that women still face in organizations today they were still recognized and promoted for hard work, women leaders in organizations such as Sekyere Rural Bank are able to take critical decisions which are geared towards the attainment of organizational goals and objectives. The issue of sexism still continues to play a role in organizations despite the growing need of gender equality globally. This research contributes to knowledge about women in leadership roles, their contribution to work, the challenges that they face and the ways that women in leadership roles adopt to cope with these challenges that they encounter daily in their various respective organizations.
