  abstract = {This systematic review explores women's well-being within Morocco's rapidly expanding automotive industry, an often-overlooked sector in gender-focused research. Despite its economic significance, limited studies address the unique challenges women face in this context. To bridge this gap, we investigate key theoretical factors influencing women's workplace well-being, synthesizing literature from 2014 to 2024 indexed in Scopus and Web of Science databases. Employing the PRISMA methodology, our study identifies a void in research integrating global industrial practices with local cultural dynamics, particularly in developing economies. The analysis categorizes women's well-being into four critical dimensions: organizational culture and gender dynamics, work-life balance and flexibility, physical work environment and occupational health, and career development and empowerment. Our findings highlight the complex interplay between organizational practices and socio-cultural norms, emphasizing the need for gender-sensitive ergonomics, inclusive leadership, and culturally tailored work-life balance policies. The review underscores a critical need for empirical research to validate these frameworks within Morocco's industrial context. This research addresses a significant gap in the literature and sets the stage for evidence-based policy development. By proposing a research agenda including longitudinal studies and action research, we aim to refine theoretical models and advance strategies that enhance women's well-being in industrial sectors, both locally and globally. The insights gained offer valuable directions for practitioners and policymakers seeking to create more inclusive and supportive work environments in Morocco's automotive industry.},
