  • Abstract:
    Construction remains a male-dominated industry, with women underrepresented both numerically and hierarchically. However, the growing shortage of construction professionals and skilled workers can be addressed by engaging more women in the industry. The present study sought to answer two research questions: "What are the major barriers hindering the participation of women in construction?"and "Is there any relationship between lean implementation and overcoming these barriers?"The study investigated women's challenges and the relationship with Lean principles through a literature review and expert interviews. Two pillars of Lean, Continuous Improvement and Respect for People, were identified as potential mechanisms to support female practitioners, helping to eliminate the barriers identified. The study conducted 27 semistructured interviews to collect data on Lean benefits and their impact on gender diversity. Findings indicate that Lean provides team-related benefits, such as a psychologically safe and respectful environment, transparency, diversity, and inclusion, helping women build positive career experiences.
