Gender Differences in Educational Management

Abstract

This article examines gender differences in educational management and their impact on leadership effectiveness. It highlights the importance of gender-sensitive approaches in developing managerial competence and improving organizational climate, decision-making, and interpersonal relations. The study also considers gender competence as a key element of school leadership, shaped by socio-cultural factors and gender stereotypes.

The findings indicate that integrating a gender approach into educational management promotes more inclusive, democratic, and effective leadership, while supporting a positive institutional environment and enhancing the performance of teachers and students.
