Abstract
"Women are much less likely to be in leadership positions than men, although the education and school careers of both sexes are almost identical. Now the question arises as to why, despite equal or similar qualifications of women and men, there is inequality in leadership positions. Is it the stereotypes that say that women are often against a career and prefer a family planning, which often leads to disruptions in the career path? [...] Which role does the 'glass ceiling' play? These questions will be discussed in more detail in the following work and will be edited by using various sources. This Bachelor Thesis examines the problem of the discrimination against women in getting to Leadership Positions. Many aspects are assessed more closely, with a focus on two building blocks, Quota System in general and Germany with the introduction of the quota system. Based on the research question, data is collected and discussed at the end. Thereby the paper is divided into six parts. At the beginning there is an overview of the quota system and the female quota in general and then in relation to Germany. Is it necessary to introduce a quota system -- who benefits from it and to whom could it harm? This is followed by important personnel selection issues, which explain why there are more men in leadership positions than women. Next, the styles of leadership are discussed to determine if gender based differences exist. The last section is the empirical part. In this part, the survey about 'Women in Leadership Positions - Quota System' will be discussed and then the results are presented. The survey deals with the topic of the quota system, and the situation of having more men in leadership positions than women. Subsequently, the elaborated theories are summarized using the survey results, which is completed with a conclusion."
