This study investigates the impact of cultural influence, leadership style, leadership behavior, and gender diversity on a leadership position in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) business sector. Additionally, gender disparities were evaluated alongside the effect of cultural influence, leadership style, and leadership behavior on a leadership position in this study. The population of the study consisted of Saudi Arabian businesses. The questionnaire survey is used to collect data, and employees of business companies are deemed the study's respondents. 142 valid responses were considered throughout the formulation of the data analysis. A partial least square (PLS) was used to evaluate the variables' association. Cultural influence, leadership style, leadership conduct, and gender diversity have strong relationships with leadership style, according to the findings of the study. In addition, gender discrimination in the workplace has unquestionably decreased, but it is an evolving phenomenon that requires additional time to gain acceptability across various enterprises. Nevertheless, it has been observed that cultural influences, leadership styles and behavior, and the perception of gender diversity are altering people's management methods. It may be said that the situation for women in leadership in the KSA has changed and is on the rise, resulting in the countries achieving their intended progress and prosperity on both the economic and social levels.
