Abstract
The paper focuses on two issues of career women. First, the challenges of the second career which is often filled with uncertainty and stagnation. Second the perception that leadership style is based on gender. The paper is based on two short studies each addressing one of the problems mentioned above. In the first study, the perceived organization support is the independent variable and organization commitment is the dependent variable. Results show that women who opted for the second career and got the support of the organization also showed organization commitment. In the second study, leadership style was the independent variable and commitment was the dependent variable. The results showed that gender did not influence leadership style pointing at the androgynous leadership style of women.
