LITERATURE REVIEWLiterature review is the sector which is conducted for collecting secondary informationabout the topic. This investigation is based on analysing issues faced by women when they areworking at top level management. There are objectives which is set in introduction chapter arediscussed here, so information about it is collected through online sources (Al-Kayed, 2015). Factors that affect the management position of women in hospitality industryIn comparison to older days, these days there is more growth and development in society.People are more aware about growth opportunities and ready to grab it. Hence in this case,women also started in working corporate sector (Camillo, 2015). There is complete and relevantinformation about sectors in which they work but still, there are some factors which affects themto work in hospitality sector,. This is the sector in which every type of consumer arrives andemployees make to greet and attend them patiently and with smile. According to Yan GraceZhong, Sue Couch and Shane C. Blum, 2019 there are four components which affects working ofwomen in hospitality organisation. First factor is Work/ family conflict. Being women, they have to manage able camebetween their professional and familiar life. Hence some times due to conflict at workplace or families women does not want to join hospitality organisation. For instance:there is conflict at workplace, then it is not easy for women worker to deal with it.Second factor is less equal opportunities. At hotels, there are less opportunities tofemale. Majority of personnel at management position are males, hence there is privilegeto women and they does not equal rights. There is difference in providing opportunities toemployees such as on the basis of gender, caste, colour, creed, etc. Third factor is Lack of support from family. There are some families which dies notsupport women to work in hospitality sector because this is the sector in which employeehave to please every consumers and ask their issues politely. So family does not supportwomen to work in this sector (Cetin, Demirciftci and Bilgihan, 2016). Fourth factor is Gender Discrimination. This is the major factors which motivatesindividuals to work at management level. When women does not get equal opportunities,this leads to gender inequality and women does not able to understand ways throughwhich they can deal with it. 3
