The increasing participation of women in leadership roles has emerged as a significant factor influencing organizational effectiveness and team performance. This study aims to examine employees’ perceptions of women leadership and its impact on team performance in organizational settings. A descriptive research design was adopted, and data were collected from 100 employees working in companies in Coimbatore using a convenience sampling technique. A self-structured questionnaire was administered through an online survey method to gather both socio-demographic information and perception-related responses. The findings reveal that a majority of employees hold favourable perceptions toward women leadership, with 64% demonstrating moderate and 34% high levels of positive perception. A significant proportion of respondents (78%) expressed a preference for female supervisors. The Chi-square test results indicated a statistically significant difference in supervisor gender preference (?² = 92.61, p < .001), suggesting a strong inclination toward women leaders. Furthermore, correlation analysis showed a positive relationship between perception scores and both years of experience with supervisors (r = .42, p < .01) and the number of women leaders in the organization (r = .58, p < .01). The study highlights that women leadership contributes positively to team performance through collaborative leadership styles, effective communication, and strong interpersonal skills. Despite these positive perceptions, certain structural and cultural barriers continue to exist. The study concludes that promoting women leadership is not only essential for achieving gender equality but also serves as a strategic approach to enhancing team performance and organizational success.
