The main objective of this dissertation is to analyze the social construction of leadership identity in relation to gender in the context of the technological sector. To this end, three complementary qualitative studies with different specific objectives were defined. In the first study, successful claimings of leadership identity are investigated, as well as the favorable factors that led to the recognition of this identity for women in a context that was considerably adverse to the development of female leadership. The second study analyzes forgone professional identity by women who practice leadership, addressing factors that favor their permanence in a company where there are no prospects for hierarchical advancement and the psychological impacts triggered by the repeated institutional denial of their identities. In the third study, the aim is to analyze how microaggressions interfere in the social construction of the leader identity among female professionals in the technology sector, as well as the factors that condition the intensity of their impact on this process. This dissertation articulates the approach to the social construction of leadership identity with gender issues in the technology sector, discussing how women conquer leadership, the reactions of women leaders who do not have the institutional granting, and the interference of these issues in the dynamics of the construction of leadership identity.
