Description
Abstract:This thesis explores the impact of gender stereotypes on women's career advancement in Hungarian workplaces. The research was conducted by surveying Hungarian workers and drawing from existing sources on implicit and explicit bias, looking for answers toprovemy research question, does explicit and implicit gender biashave an impact onthe promotion of women in the workplace? Furthermore, I was seeking evidence for my three hypotheses. Firstly, ifbias, both implicit and explicitnegativelyinfluences performance evaluations of women, consequently impacting their chances of promotion. Secondly, if women are less likely to be promoted than men with comparable qualifications andperformance,due to gender-based stereotypes about leadership. Thirdlythisthesis aims to identify if women are less likely to seek promotions or negotiate for higher salaries due to internalized gender biases and expectations. The findings will contribute to a deeper understanding ofthe challenges women facein achieving professional equality in Hungary and suggest potential strategies to promote a more inclusive and equitable workplace environment.
