The Positive Impact of Hiring Female Personnel in the Logistics Sector in Saudi Arabia: A Qualitative Approach
This research tries to explore the benefits of hiring female workforce in Saudi logistics industry from both organizational and economic perspective. The study uses qualitative research interviews with female logistics workers, managers and policymakers to explore how gender diversity may influence operational practices by defining the relation between lower performance products and service quality in organizational culture of Saudi Arabia as well improve organisational policies towards a diversified workforce aligned with Saudi Vision 2030. Female employees bring significant benefits like better problem-solving skills, enhanced collaboration and operational advantages but many face difficulties with their career advancement or on biases at work. Finally, we provide recommendations for policy and practice to continue support progress toward improving female participation within the sector.
