Abstract

Gender equality, sustainable performance, and ethical leadership are emerging as significant and complementary elements in today’s business world. The purpose of this study is to examine how gender discrimination affects sustainable performance processes and leadership practices in the workplace. Additionally, the study will discuss how factors that hinder women from accessing leadership positions undermine an organizational structure aligned with sustainable performance. The significance of the study lies in offering a comprehensive perspective on the relationship between gender discrimination in the workplace and sustainable performance, and the impact of ethical leadership on this relationship. While there are various studies on workplace gender inequality and ethical leadership, there is a lack of comprehensive research addressing the interaction of these two concepts with sustainable performance. This study aims to fill this gap, which forms the rationale for the research. Furthermore, the study seeks to provide a deeper understanding of how ethical leadership and gender equality can be more effectively implemented to achieve sustainable performance goals in modern business environments. Eliminating gender discrimination is not only an ethical responsibility but also a critical factor for sustainable performance. This study was conducted using a literature review methodology. Current and reliable sources published on gender discrimination, sustainable performance, and ethical leadership were reviewed. For this review, important databases such as Google Scholar, Scopus, and Web of Science were examined. Articles and books published in leading journals in the field were analyzed in depth to explore the literature on gender discrimination, sustainable performance, and ethical leadership in the workplace.
