Abstract
Gender diversity has become more and more of a relevant topic in recent years. However, the accounting sector still has a low proportion of women in senior and management positions. With most research focusing on relationships one at a time, a system dynamics model was created to show the mechanisms explaining the level of gender diversity within the accounting sector. The model of Bleijenbergh et al. (2016) was used as a base model, which was first expanded upon through literature, and afterwards validated through document analyses and six disconfirmatory interviews. This research and model add to the literature by creating a validated model to show how gender diversity can be affected by various aspects and feedback loops, which can also be used by organizations to understand where actions can be taken to improve gender diversity and how their current actions affect gender diversity.
