Summary/Abstract: Female leadership is not simply the subject of a management consulting report supporting the worthwhile notion that women have a right to be located in leadership positions. This research develops a conceptual model linking the conditions and factors associated with female leadership in Thailand. It proposes a theoretical basis made on three levels:-Firstly, the macro-level: involving policy, economic, social and technological issues. Secondly, the meso-level: at industry levels, focusing on genderbased organisational practice in all sectors. Thirdly, the micro-level: at the level of the individual, concerning female leaders’ characteristics such as their personalities and competencies. The purpose of this article is also to critically evaluate the relationship among different theories and show how they relate to this study and what variables are involved.
