“…The present literature review reveals a lack of thorough academic studies on female leadership in analytical rigour (Ferdous & Islam, 2021;Kabir, 2013;Mawa, Barry, & Hossain, 2011;Husu, Hearn, L€ ams€ a, & Vanhala, 2010;Rowley, Hossain, & Barry, 2010). To date, academic studies on women in leadership have been fragmented and descriptive (Ullah, 2017).…”

“…Traditionally, the characteristics associated with leadership are associated with masculinity (Rey, 2005) and women’s participation is insignificant. Kabir’s (2013) study of women’s participation in the South Asian civil service notes that “[a] very insignificant number of women occupy key decision-making positions in the civil service. High entry requirements and certain other prohibitions have discouraged a large segment of the population, especially women, from serving society” (Kabir, 2013, p. 12).…”

High entry requirements and certain other prohibitions have discouraged a large segment of the population, especially women, from serving society” (Kabir, 2013, p. 12). The discussion of gendered leadership, that is, whether women have particular leadership characteristics, expresses two opposing views, “there is little difference between women and men" and "women have different leadership styles” (Rey, 2005, p. 4; Gipson et al.…”

“…At the national level, there is a central secretariat called “Bangladesh Shachibaloy” that includes ministries and departments for policy and clearinghouse functions (Zafarullah, 1998). The other level consists of departmental directorates attached to ministries and departments, which are mainly responsible for general administration, providing [public] services to citizens and implementing various government development programs at the sub-national level (Ahmed, 2002, p. 327, Kabir, 2013, p. 5).…”

“…Considerable efforts have been made to create the “right conditions” for women's development in leadership positions in local government (Kanchoochat & Hewison, 2016; Akirva, 2021, p. 78). However, despite all efforts, women remain underrepresented in administration in developing countries (Ferdous & Islam, 2021; ILO, 2014; Kabir, 2013; UNDP, 2012; Jahan & Rahman, 2011).…”

PurposeThe main goal of the study is to participate in academic debates and explore women's leadership and related challenges and opportunities in governance, and the extent to which women’s leadership has been enhanced by administrative reforms. The goal is to broaden the scope of action by promoting women's engagement and leadership in local government.Design/methodology/approachThis is a qualitative study that uses inductive content analysis to examine the relationship between administrative reforms and women’s leadership development in the context of local government in Southeast and South Asia.FindingsThere is a positive impact of administrative reforms on women's leadership development. There is evidence that women are preparing for leadership roles in administration, which is a sign of progress in political change and modernization of society. They have been empowered by political and administrative education in a transformative way.Research limitations/implicationsThis article contributes to the literature that expands knowledge about governance, female leadership and administrative reform. They are interrelated because they are precursors to the development of women's leadership in countries.Practical implicationsThe findings of this study can help governments in South and Southeast Asia become more aware of strategies to promote gender balance in governance. The unsatisfactory situation was found to exist because of problems related to socio-political, economic, cultural, and personal development.Originality/valueThis study is the first to highlight the relationship between administrative reform and the development of women in leadership positions in a rarely studied developing country.
