Liderança feminina: desafios enfrentados no setor logístico de produtoras e distribuidoras de bebidas do Brasil

Abstract

In recent decades, the debate on gender equity in the labor market has gained visibility, especially in sectors historically dominated by men, such as logistics. The nature of the methodology is quali-quantitative, aiming to understand the subjective aspects and the view of the interviewees. Therefore, this research seeks to answer the following question: What is the impact of female leadership in the face of the challenges encountered in the logistics field? The study is justified by the relevance of discussing gender equity in a sector that is essential to the economy and regional development, yet still underexplored from the perspective of female leadership. In addition to contributing to the strengthening of more inclusive practices within local organizations, the research aligns with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly SDG 5, which aims to achieve gender equality and empower all women and girls. The main objective is to analyze the impact of female leadership when faced with the challenges of the logistics sector. The results revealed a complex and multifaceted overview regarding female representation and the challenges faced by women in leadership roles within logistics. The conclusions indicate that the respondents consider female leadership a strategic factor, essential for the growth and competitiveness of the sector.
