Abstract

Beyond gender, this comprehensive review explores the full spectrum of gender diversity in the manufacturing sectors. The study aims to determine how gender diversity affects business outcomes. A systematic literature assessment utilising Scopus and Web of Science data sources included all articles through 2022, yielding 122 research from 68 top-ranked journals in corporate governance, journal of business ethics, and business strategy and environment. The researcher evaluates them by taking into account the journal, approach, theoretical stances, and research construct questions. The findings clarify the significant knowledge gaps and conflicting results of the prior research on various elements of the field in terms of the research methodologies, contexts, breadth, and theories, offering directions for further study. The evidence regarding the outcomes of gender diversity in the workplace is varied to accomplish sustainable development, the author argues that it is necessary to examine other gender diversity characteristics in addition to the equal opportunities, unethical practices, and sustainability reporting of various sectors. Overall, this study provides systematic contributions to the literature in the field by establishing that gender diversity acts as a mediating factor in the association between workplace satisfaction and firm performance.
