As
educational standards rise and women’s understanding of their independence
grows, the job sector is steadily altering. Due to changes in their industrial
structures and social dynamics, Ghanaian civilizations have progressed from
conventional manufacturing to high-tech, informational, and food service
sectors. As a result, there are now more direct employment prospects for women
than there were in the past when there was a greater need for human resources.
The increase in female workplace engagement has benefited the advancement of
female leadership in terms of the labor force participation rate. With the use
of the specific female personality traits, female managers may build different
management styles in company management. A 73% retrieval rate was achieved out
of the 650 total copies of the questionnaire that were sent with Kumasi in
mind. Among them, 475 were legitimate copies. The conclusions point to three
main takeaways: 1) leadership is good for cooperation; 2) collaboration is good for organizational effectiveness; and 3) leadership is good for
organizational success. The results are projected to strengthen the leadership
of female managers in the catering industry.
