Apart from being a wife and mother, there are some factors that enable women to enter the working life economically. Especially after the Second World War, with the decrease in the male population, the need for the working workforce increased and it can be said that this situation enables women to take more part in business life.
The main purpose of the study is to explain the differences, if any, in the leadership behaviors of male and female managers in working life and the reasons for these differences by considering them in the tourism sector. There are many studies in the literature on management, leadership behaviors of managers, and leadership characteristics.
