“…This would indicate that the women desire to be incorporated into other career models, such as the women's career model (O'Neil & Bilimoria, 2005), through human resource policies. These findings are consistent with those reported by several authors (Baruch, 2006;Baruch & Reis, 2015;Broadbridge, 2015) with regard to the continued presence and majority practice of the traditional models in the business world, since, although the new models are increasingly present, their presence is still limited.…”

“…However, these new career models also have limitations, especially due to the cultural context in which they were developed. The national cultural context and the strength of the societal environment can also be expressed in terms of direct or indirect discrimination (Baruch & Reis, 2015), masculinity and informality, among others. For example, Pringle and Mallon (2003) mention that in collectivist cultures, one's career is not exactly one's priority for the women.…”

“…Despite the appearance of these new models, the traditional career models continue to be the most commonly used in organisations (Baruch, 2006;Baruch & Reis, 2015;Broadbridge, 2015). Consequently, women find career advancement challenging if they adopt the conventional, vertical career paradigm.…”

The percentage of women in Peru's workforce overall has been growing at a steady rate, but there are still few women are seen in executive positions. This qualitative study describes the challenges in women's professional career advancement in a country in which the cultural pattern of business is dominated by men and where specific roles have been assigned to women. In-depth interviews were conducted with 24 professionals, 11 women and 13 men. The interviews were analysed using qualitative data analysis software. The results show that family responsibilities were the main challenge for female executives' career advancement. Moreover, family responsibilities were linked to other challenges, such as physical mobility, educational attainment, professional experience and informal networks. Family responsibilities can be considered a transcultural challenge to the career advancement of female executives. Finally, the study shows that a country's culture is an important challenge to career advancement, as in the Peruvian context where women are still considered responsible for attending to the family and are assigned a fundamental role in raising the children.

“…Regarding gender, women face different obstacles when embarking on a boundaryless and global career, where culture and contextual barriers differ from those that men encounter (Baruch & Reis, ). In some locations, the barriers are more severe than in others (Altman & Shortland, ).…”

Recent discourse in the career studies literature suggests that careers become more boundaryless and more global. The scope of these phenomena and the possible association between them remains unclear. We add to the discussion by suggesting a set of propositions to further develop the global careers discourse and use examples from contrasting global and cultural contexts. Our contribution offers a two-dimensional framework, where not all global careers are boundaryless, and not all boundaryless careers are global. It will encourage scholars to critically refl ect on national, cultural, structural, and regulatory constraints. It challenges individuals and organizations to delve into how individuals interpret their way out of their contextual systems to engage in global careers and how different contextual aspects infl uence the desire for and the perception of global careers.
