This dissertation investigated the gender-based barriers and facilitators to women's advancement to top management teams (TMTs) in U.S. Fortune 500 corporations (F500s). The study identified enabling factors that could facilitate the advancement of women to top management teams and discussed the implication of women's inclusion in TMTs for firm performance. The research conducted a configurative systematic review of literature using an evidence-based research synthesis methodology to analyze the influence of gender-based barriers to women's advancement in F500s. The review assessed gender-based barriers by examining the prevalent inhibitors reported to government agencies in charge of gender issues such as the U.S. Glass Ceiling Commission. The research identified some gender-favorable practices viewed by multinational leaders as facilitators to women's advancement. Furthermore, the study highlighted enablers of female promotion to TMTs with an aim to provide them as a resource for F500 leadership and the management of future gender diversity challenges. Three propositions guided this research. One predicted that gender barriers limit women's advancement in F500s; another suggested that an impact assessment of TMT diversity might prove that female inclusion adds value to top teams; and, the third focused on analyzing the significance of women's advancement for firm performance. This dissertation found that removal of gender-based barriers and diversity in F500 leadership could enhance the chances of female promotion to top teams. Also, more women in top leadership might increase a firm's financial performance. The study identified some gaps for further research and highlighted the significance of a gender-diverse leadership on F500 performance.
