Abstract

In this chapter, we illustrate the complicated disparity of gender in Indonesia, where paternalistic and traditional culture coexist with the attainment of the sixth highest proportion of women senior managers in the world. We used historical and cultural analysis to address the factors that contribute to this complexity. In this traditional culture, family is the basis for identity development and is the basis for women’s agency in Indonesia. The family, especially fathers, is important in taking change agent roles to stimulate positive identity for women as leaders. We also explore organizational-level strategies involving the formulation of organizational identity as diverse organizations, as well as policies and practices to propel women to grow as leaders.
