Resumen

A pesar de los cambios sociales y políticos que se han llevado a cabo en las últimas décadas en el ámbito laboral, continúa siendo patente la escasa participación de las mujeres en los puestos de trabajo directivos. Con la finalidad de contribuir al principio de igualdad de oportunidades en el acceso de las mujeres al poder, en el presente trabajo se realiza un análisis del Techo de Cristal en las pequeñas y medianas empresas a partir de una muestra de 816 PYMEs de la Comunidad Autónoma de Andalucía, pertenecientes a diferentes sectores de actividad, en el que se pone de manifiesto que la cultura predominante en el ámbito laboral continúa provocando una clara segregación de género vertical.
