Resumen

El estudio examinó las barreras que dificultan la participación de las mujeres en cargos de liderazgo deportivo en Ghana, así como las estrategias para superarlas. Se adoptó un paradigma de investigación interpretativista y la muestra estuvo compuesta por mujeres líderes en organizaciones deportivas ghanesas. Los datos se recopilaron mediante guías de entrevista y se analizaron a través del Análisis Fenomenológico Interpretativo (IPA). Los resultados indicaron que las barreras institucionales y las actitudes individuales fueron algunos de los factores más significativos que limitan la participación de las mujeres en el liderazgo. El estudio destacó que la promoción de la educación de las niñas y un cambio más amplio en la cultura organizacional pueden aumentar la representación femenina en organizaciones deportivas profesionales. Se recomienda realizar investigaciones cuantitativas y cualitativas adicionales para comprender por qué la participación de las mujeres en el liderazgo deportivo no está adecuadamente reflejada en la legislación vigente ni en políticas deportivas obsoletas.
