However the women those are competent enough to be the candidate with their outstanding performance still faces a strong setback due to the unseen barriers and this may vary with generations. The overall purpose to carry out this research was to identify and propose a conceptual model for the determinants of women self leadership among generation X and Y. It is crucial to study on how the determinants will influence the women self leadership, as well as to the different generations. The different determinants focused on the Capabilities, Family Influence, Self-efficacy and Masculinity-Femininity. Base from the literature review this current study found a gap which is generations as a moderating effect between capabilities, family influence, self-efficacy and masculinity-femininity that influence women’s self leadership.
