Successful professional women in South Africa project

As a professional woman you understand that career success is important to women, but that there are often obstacles hampering their success. An increasing number of women are however becoming business and professional leaders. This PhD project is launched to gain insight into factors contributing to their success and to identify the extent to which career barriers and support impact on career success. It is envisaged that the identification of these factors has the potential to promote the development of women as future business and professional leaders.

By completing the questionnaire you give your consent to participate in the project. All survey material will be treated in the strictest confidence and your anonymity is ensured. It will take about 20 minutes to complete the survey.

You are invited as a professional woman to participate by following the link provided:
