“…Configuration F3 represents a more comprehensive path that demonstrates how institutional, cultural and structural elements interact to produce higher WPLP. It has been pointed out that a stable political environment fosters increasing female labor force engagement (Altaf, 2019). And, increased female working options empower women to develop their economic power and achieve higher economic positions, which assists women in breaking the preconception of traditional gender roles (Agadjanian, 2002).…”

Purpose Existing research has examined the results of women’s political leadership participation (WPLP) and the reasons for the lack of advancement of women to management positions. However, little research has been adopting a more comprehensive framework and configuration perspective to investigate the determinants of WPLP. By integrating institutional theory and institutional complementarities theory, this study aims to construct an institution–culture–structure framework to investigate the multiple driving mechanisms of WPLP. Design/methodology/approach Drawing on the fuzzy set qualitative comparative analysis method and a sample of 66 countries, the authors identify multiple equifinal combinations of conditions related to high and not-high levels of WPLP. Findings According to the results, the authors summarize five pathways influencing WPLP. These pathways include education and culture-driven pattern, political institutions-driven pattern, political institutions and structure-driven pattern, integrated-driven pattern and political institutions and culture restrictive pattern. Originality/value The authors shed new light on the driving mechanism of WPLP and contribute to research on making full out of women’s leadership.

Structural underdevelopment remains a critical economic challenge globally. Despite significant advancements, many countries and regions continue to face developmental hurdles due to historical and systemic factors. Among the myriad of factors, the quality of governance has garnered extensive focus for its role in economic outcomes. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between governance quality and economic performance of the countries, guided by institutional theory. Employing data from 197 countries over 1996 to 2022, sourced from the World Bank and the World Governance Indicators, we applied fixed effects and random effects. In addition, the Hausman test was applied in order to initiate the choice between fixed and random effect models. Furthermore, the data was also analysed through descriptive statistics and quantile regression for detailed revelations. Initial findings indicated considerable disparities in governance quality and GDP per capita among income groups. The beta coefficients from our regression analysis elucidated the significance of governance on economic outcomes. Specifically, Voice and Accountability implied a non-positive relation with GDP per capita, whereas Regulatory Quality and Rule of Law exhibited significant positive impact. Stronger positive relationships were evident in the random effects model, reinforcing the connection between governance improvements and economic growth. This research aimed to inform public policy in Pakistan and similar contexts, highlighting how governance quality can affect macro-economic outcomes.
