Abstract
Al observar el equipo executivo de cualquiera empresa gallega, muy probablemente nos
daremos cuenta que de una pequeña presencia femenina. Aun habiendo años de esfuerzos
para cambiar esa realidad, todavía se percibe que buena parte del liderazgo empresarial está
en manos de hombres. Aunque se puede concordar que sería posible que más mujeres
alcanzasen altas posiciones jerárquicas, ese cambio es lento, necesita acciones osadas y cabría
esperar que no fuese necesario tanto tempo hasta que la representación de ellas en puestos de
mandos sea tan considerable a nivel de igualarse a la representación masculina. El sistema de
género, constituido por los valores, normas, significados, roles, estereotipos, sanciones..., deja
lugar a una organización social jerarquizada, en la que los puestos clave de poder están
ocupados mayoritariamente por hombres. De esta manera, se bien es cierto, que ya
encontramos un acercamiento al tema en la existencia de estudios del rol desempeñado por la
mujer en turismo, la mayoría de ellos tratan concretamente de una parte del sector. Por lo
tanto, hace interesante investigar de manera más general y que englobe todo el sector, sin
olvidarse la importancia de conocer datos que permitan una comparativa entre formación y
empoderamiento en la gestión.
Observing the executive team of any Galician company, we probably will find a small female presence. Even having years of efforts to change that reality, it is still perceived that most of the business leadership is in the hands of men. Although we can agree that it would be possible that more women reach high hierarchical positions, we have to assume that this change is slow and need bold actions and it should not be necessary wait until that the representation of females in positions of command be so considerable equated to male representation. The gender system, consisting of the values, norms, meanings, roles, stereotypes, sanctions..., generates in a hierarchical social organization, in which the positions of power are occupied mostly by men. Thus, although we already an approach to the subject in studies on the role played by women in tourism, most of them deal specifically a part of the sector. Therefore, it becomes interesting to investigate in more general terms the whole sector, not forgetting the importance of knowing data which allow to perform a comparison between professional training and empowerment in management.
