Progression of women in PM: new research

by Elizabeth on 13/09/2008

Zuzana Botkova, an MBA student, is writing her dissertation on the progression of women in project management.   The main areas of focus for her research are motivation, challenges, leadership behaviours and the soft skills and emotional intelligence of project managers.

She has already scheduled research interviews with male and female project managers, and the second stage of her investigation is to do wider sampling through a questionnaire.

The questionnaire is designed to gather data to better understand the view of current project managers about their own “soft side” and subsequently Zuzana will use this data to analyse why there aren’t more female project managers.

Her deadline is mid-October, so you have a few weeks to find 10 minutes to participate.  You can find the survey here.
