description This study examined the employee’s perception towards women leadership effectiveness. Data was gathered through distributed questionnaires answered by 60 respondents from SOCSO staffs in Penang branch. Data was analyzed using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS v.16) where descriptive analysis was used to analyze the demographic variable.
