Abstract
The presence of women in the working market is a reality today, however, the access to positions of responsibility and power, spaces where they could exercise their leadership, are still an insurmountable barrier for them. In this work, the objective was to know if there are differences according to gender and the position of management and direction with regard to variables of a personal and organizational nature in a sector such as banking. To collect this information, a registration form was drawn up, which was sent to all banking entities in the Autonomous Community of Galicia, to which 448 employees replied: 315 men (70.3%) and 133 women (29.7%). The results obtained revealed that both female directors and sub-directors are younger than their fellow directors and assistant directors and have a higher level of education; On the other hand, their work experience in the banking sector is shorter, their seniority in the junior management or subdirector and their professional status lower than that of directors and assistant directors and, consequently, the salaries received are minors. Finally, in the offices, the number of workers in charge of a female director is the same as that of a male director, but that number is reduced when it is they who occupy the sub-directorate in front of their male colleagues.
