MANAGING EMPLOYEE RELATION IN GLOBAL CONTEXT1
Research Question
Why does Saudi Arabia have less women in global leadership than Sweden?
Kemp, L. J., Madsen, S. R., & Davis, J. (2015). Women in business leadership: A
comparative study of countries in the Gulf Arab states. International Journal of Cross-
Cultural Management, 15(2), 215-233. Available at DOI: 10.1177/1470595815594819
Based on the above-cited article it is evaluated based on the viewpoint of Kemp,
Madsen and Davis (2015), that the female population is equally capable of handling the
synergy of business leadership in the region of Arab Gulf States. The article evaluates the
status of the women leaders in the concerned area, specifically the senior executives as well
as the managers with the help of the survey form of quantitative gender analysis connected to
a number of 2805 private as well as public listed business firms in diversified regions and
states. The position held by the different number of women in the different number of
organisations is analysed, detailed as well as compared with regards to the different countries,
classification of business, and the size of the business companies as well as the ownership.
In this connection, the findings of the above-cited article show that the business
organisations and its cultural managers need to have a positive and optimistic approach
towards the encouragement of the participation of the women population in the concern of
leading business organisations. Concerned to this, it is investigated that the nation of Sweden
and it's business organisation are more dedicated to employing more of the female as their
senior business executives as well as managers in a different department of business
organisation. This statement proved the fact that the business organisations in the region of
Sweden have efficiently followed the system of gender diversity as compared to that of the
region of Saudi Arabia. In light of this, it can be stated that the nation of Saudi Arabia has
less global leadership connected to the women population as to that of Sweden.

Bierema, L. L. (2016). Women’s leadership: Troubling notions of the “ideal” (male)
leader. Advances in Developing Human Resources, 18(2), 119-136. Available at DOI:
10.1177/1523422316641398
Based on the viewpoint of Bierema (2016), it is undermined with the help of the
above-cited article that the female population are well prepared and established in the
concern of assuming the leadership roles. They are grown up with proper education level and
the will as per the view of the expert and that the women can grow themselves in a better way
and in a double bind manner once they are let to work in the role of a leader. However, it was
also determined with the help of the article there are several forms of challenges that the
women employees and leaders have to face in the concern of remaining cautious of holding
the line of challenges and issues to be faced in the working organisation and their daily lives.
Thus, the findings of the article based on the different development theories of the
human resource department, it was found that the understanding of the business organisations
situated in the region of Saudi Arabia related to the concern of preparing its women leaders
for better career prospects as well as creating competitive business organisations that are
hospitable to the same is been limited by the synergy of implicit biasness, inadequate system
of learning as well as development strategies as well as the cultural diversity of the
organisations that is resistant towards the changes. The current theories of human resource
development in the business organisations in the region of Saudi Arabia have been recorded
to be inefficient and inadequate in the concern of addressing as well as solving the issues
related to the challenges faced by the female leaders of the firm as compared to that of the
business entities in the country of Sweden. This turns out to be another major reason why the
female global leadership in the nation of Saudi Arabia have been on a lower level.
