liderazgo, sector logístico, igualdad, estereotipos de género, perspectiva de géneroResumen
La igualdad de género es uno de los Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible. La logística, al igual que otros muchos sectores, ha sido tradicionalmente y sigue siendo en la actualidad uno de los más masculinizados. El objetivo principal de este estudio es conocer la valoración del liderazgo femenino tanto por los/as trabajadores/as del sector en España como por las mujeres directivas, analizando las causas de su baja presencia en estos puestos. Se ha empleado combinación metodológica de análisis cuantitativo (encuesta a trabajadores/as) y cualitativo (entrevistas semiestructuradas a directivas). Los resultados indican que la aceptación del liderazgo femenino por trabajadores/as del sector es alta, aunque las mujeres son más críticas ante estereotipos y más positivas ante un futuro con mayor liderazgo femenino. Se concluye que, gracias a los cambios legislativos y a la apertura del sector hacia el empleo femenino, cada vez más mujeres trabajan en el sector, accediendo además a puestos de liderazgo.
