Estudio de Caso, Estilo de Liderazgo Decanatura de la Facultad de Contaduría Pública Universidad Santo Tomás Bogotá.

Abstract

This study focused on analyzing, from a gender perspective, the leadership style applied by the deanship of the Public Accounting Program at Universidad Santo Tomás, Bogotá. To carry out this research, a qualitative methodology was used that included a convenience sampling among students and professors, focusing on those with the strongest ties to the dean's office and examining the main differences and obstacles that women may face in leadership positions. The results revealed that the combination of leadership styles adopted by the deanship reflects a balanced approach that seeks to foster autonomy and the integral participation of the academic community. In summary, this study contributes to the understanding that leadership approaches are adaptable and constantly evolving to enhance the leader's collaborative environment. Further research is recommended in Colombian accounting schools to promote gender equity in academic leadership roles through a deeper understanding of the social dynamics and perceptions of those involved in this process.
