After careful review of literatures with regard to the relationship between independent and dependant variables, the hypotheses were developed to guide and to be tested based on the result of inferential statistics. Results of the multiple regression model and the overall study revealed that, all the three factors sociocultural, personal and organizational factors have negative and significant effect on women’s intention to participate in leadership and management in CBE, Bahir Dar City Branches.
