Hyundai Motor Group fared the worst in the analysis. Of the group's 958 executive-level officers, three were women, accounting for 0.31 percent.
The ratio wasn't much higher for Hyundai Heavy Industries Group (0.53 percent), Hanwha Group (0.65 percent) and GS Group (0.7 percent).
Samsung Group had the highest proportion of female executives with 4.18 percent, or 81 out of 1,937.
By affiliate, Samsung Electronics showed 4.53 percent, and Samsung C&T, which includes the fashion business, had 5.41 percent.
Samsung Card's ratio was 9.68 percent.
At Lotte Shopping, 12 out of 149 company executives were women (8.05 percent). The country's largest mobile carrier SK Telecom had 4 women among 86 executives (4.65 percent). SK Innovation's ratio was 4.69 percent.
Hyundai Motor's 288 executives included one female (0.35 percent). LG Electronics' 308 executives had three women among them (0.97 percent).
