Abstract：
Gender equality in the workforce and the promotion of woman leadership is critical to economic growth and the sustainable development of society and the global community. However, gender diversity in leadership positions is a concern as women continue to be underrepresented. Ensuring equal opportunities in leadership positions in the health sector can help advance the achievement of the sustainable development goals (SDGs).
The aim of this study was to explore Saudi women\'s perspectives and leadership experiences at senior-level positions in the healthcare sector.
A descriptive qualitative approach was adopted to address the study aim. This included nine semi-structured interviews with Saudi women who have held leadership positions in the health sector over the past ten years. Reflexive thematic analysis was conducted by adopting the six phases.
The results showed that internal factors, such as qualifications, experience, and the innate qualities of a winner, are the most important factors that contribute to women\'s leadership. Women\'s role expectations, gender norms, and the patriarchal nature of the community have a negative impact on women\'s leadership. One of the new findings of this study was negative attitudes and lack of support from female colleagues.
Women leaders in health care in Saudi Arabia share similarities and differences with women leaders around the world. However, the Saudi community has its own social norms and gender roles that cannot be denied. While Vision 2030 brought a number of positive changes in women\'s empowerment that participants spoke of, more research is needed to explore men\'s perceptions, which can complete the picture and lead to organizational improvement and changes.

摘要：
背景：劳动力中的性别平等和促进女性领导对于经济增长以及社会和全球社会的可持续发展至关重要。然而,由于妇女的代表性仍然不足，领导职位中的性别多样性令人关切。确保卫生部门领导职位的平等机会有助于实现可持续发展目标。
目的：本研究的目的是探讨沙特女性在医疗保健行业高级职位上的观点和领导经验。
方法：采用描述性定性方法来解决研究目的。其中包括对过去十年来在卫生部门担任领导职务的沙特妇女的九次半结构化采访。通过采用六个阶段进行了适应性专题分析。
结果：结果表明，内部因素，如资格，经验,以及胜利者与生俱来的品质，是促进女性领导力的最重要因素。女性的角色期望，性别规范，社区的父权制性质对女性的领导能力产生了负面影响。这项研究的新发现之一是消极态度和缺乏女同事的支持。
结论：沙特阿拉伯医疗保健领域的女性领导者与世界各地的女性领导者有着相同和不同的地方。然而,沙特社区有自己的社会规范和性别角色，这是不可否认的。虽然2030年愿景带来了一些与会者谈到的妇女赋权方面的积极变化，需要更多的研究来探索男人的观念，这可以完成画面，并导致组织的改进和变化。
