Abstract
Women's leadership has become one of the main agendas in the 5th Sustainable Development Goal. All parties have recognized women's contribution to the country's development. In this modern world, women are still faced with the practice and understanding that women are of lower status than men due to patriarchal practices. Therefore, the study examined the influence of familial responsibility, women's competencies, and organizational support on female directorship. The research design for this study is a secondary quantitative study. This research's data were gathered from published private-sector datasets. The study's data included 137 organizations and was collected using probability systematic sampling. The data analysis tool used in this research is correlation analysis. The study results show no significant relationship between familial responsibility and organizational support and female directorship.
