| description | AbstractSaudization is a policy implemented by the Saudi Ministry of Labor and Social Development that requires Saudi companies and enterprises to fill their workforce with Saudi nationals up to a certain percentage. This research examines the effect of Saudization on women working in the Saudi workforce. The study also analyzed the support and incentives of this program for stimulating females’ enthusiasm toward looking for new job opportunities in the Saudi workforce. The study employed a qualitative study design. A total of 15 women were interviewed who held jobs for > 5 years and currently have been working in companies within Saudi Arabia. The study findings offer insights to the organizations concerned about the outcomes of implementing such programs. The study’s findings reveal the positive impact of Saudization on female employment in local organizations, and these policies led to more opportunities through working in such stores and industries. The findings suggest that Saudization, retention, pay with benefits, and health insurance policies significantly affect diversity management in the Saudi private sector. There is a need to update the policy dimensions to address the issue of gender discrimination. |
