Estudo valorativo da inserção da mulher nos cargos directivos do Clube de desportos do Costa do sol - desafios e oportunidades

Abstract

The inclusion ofwomen in leadership positions at the Costa do Sol Sports Club represents a relevant and urgent issue in the context ofmodern sport. According to Silva (2020), the female presence in management positions not only promotes diversity ofperspectives, but also improves effectiveness and decision-making in organizations; in Mozambique, the situation largely reflects the African panorama; although there are women occupying management positions in some sports organizations, it is still limited. This is due to several factors, such as the persistence ofgender stereotypes, the lack ofclear policies to promote equality and the lack ofincentive for the development offemale leaders in sport (Machava, 2020). The present investigation is based on the following objective, to address the problem raised. Analyze the insertion ofwomen in management positions at the Costa do Sol Sports Club, identifying the challenges faced and opportunities to promote actions towards greater gender equality in sports leadership. To develop the research process, methods and techniques were used to collect and analyze the data and information received by the sample, made up of14 women from the reference club. As a consequence ofthe limitations found in this context and in correspondence with the theory addressed, policies and practical actions are declared that, once implemented, will allow greater insertion, integration, leadership and empowerment ofwomen in the sports sector.
