Resumen

This research aims to determine the relationship between female leadership and organizational culture in the Credit and Savings Unions (UNICAS) of Cajamarca, Peru, for 2024. Using a quantitative, descriptive-correlational approach, the study was non-experimental and cross-sectional. The sample included 52 women from various UNICAS, selected through non-probability sampling. Data were collected via surveys using two validated questionnaires, achieving high reliability (Cronbach's alpha of 0.971 for female leadership and 0.952 for organizational culture). Results showed a strong positive correlation between female leadership and organizational culture (Spearman's Rho of 0.877). Significant positive correlations were also found between female leadership and dimensions such as attention to detail, results orientation, people orientation, team orientation, energy, stability, and risk and innovation. The study concludes that female leadership positively influences organizational culture in the UNICAS of Cajamarca. It recommends promoting policies and strategies to enhance female leadership, fostering a more inclusive and collaborative organizational culture, and contributing to the region's sustainable and equitable development.
