Abstract:
One of the fundamental pillars of Bulgaria's progress as a civil and democratic society is its commitment to non-discrimination on nationality, race and gender. Gender egalitarianism has been one of visible distinctions of Bulgarian business, management and leadership practices when compared to the other European Union countries. Hence, it is important to more closely monitor and analyze the evolution of the role of women in the modern Bulgaria and predict the contribution of gender egalitarianism to the sources of the country's competitive advantage. This article responds to these needs of better understanding practices of gender egalitarianism and roles in decision-making positions. It is based on the authors' large-scale survey of Bulgarian managers and displays the results of empirical study of perceptions about gender roles in society as reported by business managers. Overall, the data on the perception of gender roles in Bulgarian business management reveals strong results on Gender Egalitarianism and suggests that this phenomenon serves as the important factor in business practices and in the economy at large. The study confirms the advancements in the equality of the roles of women and men and is consistent with the results of the other estimates by the international statistical authorities. It displays Bulgaria among the leading countries in terms of perception of the practices.
