Abstract(s)
Apesar dos avanços na igualdade de género, a sub-representação de mulheres em cargos de liderança no desporto continua a ser uma realidade persistente, refletindo desigualdades estruturais, culturais e interpessoais. Neste contexto, torna-se relevante explorar as experiências e perceções das mulheres que ocupam funções de liderança no desporto. Assim, este estudo qualitativo pretende compreender as barreiras e meta-estereótipos percecionados por treinadoras de diferentes modalidades desportivas, e analisar se essas perceções diferem consoante a representatividade de género em cada modalidade. Através de entrevistas semiestruturadas com 20 treinadoras de diferentes modalidades foram identificadas três categorias principais de obstáculos: (1) os (meta)estereótipos sobre o papel da treinadora, que incluem perceções sobre competências, expressividade emocional e papéis de género; (2) o impacto desses estereótipos, visível na internalização e na alteração comportamental; e (3) as condições laborais, com destaque para vínculos contratuais precários. A análise revelou que, embora as barreiras estejam presentes em todas as modalidades, o seu tipo e expressão variam consoante a predominância de género no contexto desportivo. O estudo reforça a necessidade de intervenções específicas para promover a inclusão e a equidade de género em posições de liderança no desporto.
Despite advances in gender equality, the underrepresentation of women in leadership positions in sport remains a persistent reality, reflecting structural, cultural, and interpersonal inequalities. In this context, it is important to explore the experiences and perceptions of women who hold leadership roles in sport. This qualitative study aims to understand the barriers and meta-stereotypes perceived by female coaches across different sports disciplines and to analyze whether these perceptions vary according to gender representation within each sport. Through semi-structured interviews with 20 coaches from various disciplines, three main categories of obstacles were identified: (1) the (meta)stereotypes surrounding the role of the female coach, including perceptions of competence, emotional expressiveness, and gender roles; (2) the impact of these stereotypes, evident in internalization and behavioral changes; and (3) working conditions, particularly precarious contractual arrangements. The analysis revealed that although these barriers are present across all sports, their type and manifestation vary depending on the gender dominance in the sporting context. The study highlights the need for targeted interventions to promote gender inclusion and equity in sports leadership positions.
