Abstract [English]

The post-pandemic era has prompted significant changes in the global workforce, with a notable impact on women employees. This paper examined the role of women employees in shaping investor analysis, focusing on how gender diversity influences corporate performance, investment decisions, and long-term value creation. Women employees, particularly in leadership roles, contribute to organizational resilience, innovation, and sustainability. By assessing the role of women in the workforce and their influence on investor sentiment, this study highlights the interconnectedness between corporate diversity and financial growth in the post-pandemic context. The main objectives are to understand the role of gender diversity in corporate performance, governance, and long-term value creation. The selection of a research strategy is a crucial step in the research design process, as it dictates how relevant data for the study will be collected. The study utilized both primary and secondary data sources. Primary data was obtained through a questionnaire distributed via Google Forms, completed by a group of respondents. In addition, to build the theoretical and analytical framework, secondary data was sourced from various books, published materials, newspapers, journals, and websites. A sample size of 100 women was selected from an unlimited population. The researcher employed a random sampling method to choose the participants.
