Disparidade salarial de gênero em cargos de liderança: revisão sistemática de literatura e agenda de pesquisas

Abstract

According to the World Bank (2024), a total of 97 countries had laws to promote equal pay between men and women in equal work. But asymmetries, including in leadership positions, persist and women earn, on average, just 77 cents of every dollar earned by men. Given this context, this article promoted a pioneering and systematic review of the Gender Pay Gap in leadership positions. When analyzing global production over the last decade (2014 to 2024) on the topic, the most recurrent methods, longitudinal publication trends year by year, most adopted theories, journals with publications on the topic, most analyzed contexts/countries, the most frequent keywords were mapped and which articles have the greatest impact through citation metrics. Among the results, a very strong theoretical and empirical fragmentation and a certain tendency to value laws and public policies were identified. However, if laws are necessary but insufficient to correct the GPG, new paths need to be thought of.
