Abstract
Gender Biasness is one of the most important topics in the field of human
resource management especially in the categories of under developed
countries and least developed countries of South East Asia like Pakistan
where most of the professions are dominated by males. In these countries
females are treated as home manager and their role is to support their spouse
through taking responsibilities home and child care etc. On the other hand
females are constantly ignoring these myths as they are found to be keenly
interested in interest is having profound professional careers. In fact research
also highlighted that there is a considerable increase in the number of female
workforce during last decade but it has been also highlighted that most of the
times females are opting those professions which are coherent with their
attitudes and personalities like education and they have least acceptance in
male dominated professions. Moreover their representation on top level
positions is also in far and few between as there are several factors which are
hindering in their way of career excellence. Thus there is a systematic need
of investigation regarding those factors which are creating hindrance in the
female career paths. Hence the aim of this research is to figure out those
factors which are creating hindrance for female careers in the context of
Pakistan and through combining literature and different research constructs
a comprehensive research model has been develop to compare barriers associated with female careers with respect to different industries do to
determine the impact of these barriers for each industry. Hence it is
legitimate to believe that this research is pervasive in nature and will help
managers in devising organizational policies more effectively. Therefore for
the statistical part second order CFA and Path Analysis has been indulged
for validating the research model and through the of structural equation
modeling so to predict the impact of different constructs e.g. familial, cultural
and organizational on female careers operating in higher education, banking,
construction and production sector of Karachi. Thus through this research
theory building might be enhanced in the context of Asian and under
developed countries and researchers might able to perform optimized level of
research in the betterment of society.
