| Abstract
|
:
|
There is an absence of research focused on the experience of Muslim women who have become leaders in U.S. organizations, including their unique strengths, the complex challenges they face as both women and Muslims, and their personal struggles to balance career and cultural obligations. This research explored the experiences of Muslim professional women in the U.S., with a focus on how they reconcile the cultural and social nuances of their religious heritage with experiences at work. What obstacles do they face in rising to positions of leadership? What advantages do they bring to corporate leadership and decision-making? What variations in experience exist between Muslim women with different ethnic backgrounds, women born in the U.S. versus those who are first- or second-generation immigrants, and women who visibly and vocally express their faith versus those who are more secular? Do Muslim women who become organizational leaders share certain qualities or strategies that facilitate their success?
