摘要:This study approaches the public organizations and their organizational culture by taking into account the gender factor. More specifically, it will approach women’s presence in the leadership positions of public organizations, the influence of the culture of public organizations in the promotion of women in middle and top management positions, and it will finally identify the defining characteristics of the organizational culture of the institutions led by women in comparison to those led by men. Our study is based on a research conducted in Bistriţa-Năsăud County, Romania in 2008 by applying a questionnaire in 12 public organizations. The questionnaire included 16 questions, seven of which were open questions, and it was applied to 25 women occupying different middle and top management positions in public institutions. The conclusions of the research confirm the existence of some clear differences in the organizational culture of women-led and respectively men-led public institutions. At the same time, the study identifies possible causes of the low presence of women in the public top management positions in contrast to their high presence in the executive positions.
