This book was released on 2006 with total page 121 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Perceptions of leadership behaviors have been found to be influenced by the prototypical leadership traits a leader exhibits and by a leader's gender. This study examined prototypical leadership traits with gender and ethnicity in order to find differences in perceptions of leadership that might exist due to gender role bias and prejudice. Using a 2 x 2 x 2 design, prototypical traits, gender, and ethnicity were varied in a scenario depicting a leader in a multi-national corporation. Participants were asked to rate the leader on promotability, prototypicality, A-prototypicality, effectiveness, typicality, and charisma. Responses from 200 European American college students were analyzed and results of the study indicated that leaders displaying prototypical leader traits had higher ratings on promotability, prototypicality, effectiveness, typicality, and charisma, than leaders rated high on A-prototypicality. No differences were found on the dependent variables, across scenarios where gender or ethnicity were manipulated indicating that gender role bias and prejudice in leadership perceptions were not significant in this sample.

According to research, people hold prototypes for what a typical business leader is and the qualities they should and should not possess. This prototype is shaped by an individual's perceptions of and experiences with different business leaders and can vary from one individual to the next. Despite the growing urgency for diversity within work environments and the fact that women comprise more than half of the workforce, when considering the business leader, White males have been found to be most prototypic. This finding has been supported in multiple studies; however, the literature has primarily focused on comparisons between White and African American men, while only recently beginning to expand to include comparisons with women and other ethnic minorities. This study builds upon previous research by examining individual's leadership perceptions of six targets: White, African American, and Asian American men and women, with a particular interest in the combined effects of both ethnicity and gender. Using the description and performance summary of a fictitious employee and company, individuals measured the leadership potential of the six targets with the manipulations of ethnicity, gender, and performance (having increased or decreased). Furthermore, most research on the topic has relied on self-report and survey measures to assess perceptions of leadership ability. There is evidence that we have automatic processes occurring outside of conscious awareness that activate held stereotypes and that are not available to be accessed through introspection. Therefore, this study also incorporated the use of implicit measures, specifically, the single category implicit association test (SC-IAT), to discover individual's associations between the six targets and the status of "business leader." Implicit measures have been found valuable in limiting the ability to "fake" or give socially desirable responses, giving the measure the ability to reveal true associations people hold consciously or unconsciously. Participants included 326 university students, each completing both the personnel summary measure, for which they evaluated one target's leadership potential, and the SC-IAT, which measured the association of each of the six targets with the status of "business leader" and "business subordinate." A between-subjects ANOVA was used to analyze differences in perceptions of leadership potential and a within-subjects ANOVA was used to analyze differences in associations of the six targets with the status of business leader versus business subordinate. Findings indicated some mixed results between the two measures. The personnel summary measure indicated no significant differences between ethnic or gender groups, but did find that targets described as having increased performance were evaluated more favorably than those described as having decreased performance. However, The SC-IAT found a significant difference in ethnicity in that both Whites and African Americans were more closely associated to the status of business leader than Asian Americans, and males more closely associated than females. This study contributes to the current research literature by examining multiple minority groups and women, including minority women, and thus exploring theories of the intersectionality of ethnicity and gender with regard to perceptions of business leaders.

Download or read book Diversity and Leadership written by Jean Lau Chin and published by SAGE Publications. This book was released on 2014-09-02 with total page 345 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although leadership theories have evolved to reflect changing social contexts, many remain silent on issues of equity, diversity, and social justice. Diversity and Leadership, by Jean Lau Chin and Joseph E. Trimble, offers a new paradigm for examining leadership by bringing together two domains—research on leadership and research on diversity—to challenge existing notions of leadership and move toward a diverse and global view of society and its institutions. This compelling book delivers an approach to leadership that is inclusive, promotes access for diverse leaders, and addresses barriers that narrowly confine our perceptions and expectations of leaders. Redefining leadership as global and diverse, the authors impart new understanding of who our leaders are, the process of communication, exchange between leaders and their members, criteria for selecting, training, and evaluating leaders in the 21st century, and the organizational and societal contexts in which leadership is exercised.

Download or read book Effect of Race occupation Fit and Leadership Prototypes on Leadership Perceptions of Minorities in Leadership Positions written by Shanya Chandel and published by . This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although minorities make up a significant part of the U.S. population, a small margin of minorities are in senior leadership roles. A potential explanation behind the demographic makeup is that racial biases may influence leadership perceptions. Accordingly, a particular occupation type could moderate the relationship between race and perceived leader effectiveness, a pattern that can be explained by implicit leadership theory. To test this explanation, this paper focused on specifically Asian Americans and Blacks, in leadership roles in comparison to Whites. To see the effect of race-occupation fit, fictional vignettes of three racially different leaders were created in which each leader was portrayed in three different occupations (i.e., athletics manager, sales manager, engineering manager). A sample of 241 participants rated their assigned target leader through an online survey that contained evaluation items that measured the extent the target leader was perceived as effective. The findings show that the hypothesized relationships were not supported and that overall findings should be interpreted with caution.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Master's Thesis from the year 2014 in the subject Psychology - Work, Business, Organisation, grade: 10 (A) with honors, University of Ramon Llull (Organizational Psychology), language: English, abstract: The objective of this study is to evaluate the gender and cultural differences in the perception of a male and a female leader in a feedback situation. The research is based upon considerations of a literature review in the fields of gender bias and stereotype conducted previously. Subjects from Spain and Germany were asked to evaluate a director (male or female) of a fictive feedback situation that was described before a short questionnaire. The questions of the questionnaire were based on previous research and findings of the literature review. Results show no significance differences in the evaluation across genders and cultures. We tested if previous experience with a woman leader was related to a higher evaluation of the female leader finding no significant relationship. We tested if there was a relationship between the previous experience with a female leader and the preference to work for a certain leader’s gender finding no significant relationship. Taking into consideration the subgroup “previous experience with a female leader”, we analyzed if personnel responsibility was related to the preference to work for a certain leader’s gender finding no relationship. Results from the study show that gender, culture and previous experience with a female leader had no influence on the leader’s evaluation. A discussion with possible interpretations of the findings and implication for further research follows.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this chapter, we bring together the literature on the effects of racial/ethnic diversity in countries, organizations, and teams with the literature on gender and leadership. First, we investigate how the effects of racial/ethnic diversity -- that is, increases in perceived complexity, sense of threat and perceived need for change, desire for cooperation rather than competition, and heterogeneity of beliefs about gender roles -- might enhance the likelihood of women's selection and emergence into leadership positions. Second, we review research suggesting how female leaders may positively affect outcomes and performance for both majority and minority members in diverse settings through their symbolic presence, leadership styles, and policy choices and attitudes. We conclude by suggesting future research directions that could provide further evidence for the influence of female leadership in diverse settings.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Our Separate Ways, authors Ella Bell and Stella Nkomo take an unflinching look at the surprising differences between black and white women's trials and triumphs on their way up the corporate ladder. Based on groundbreaking research that spanned eight years, Our Separate Ways compares and contrasts the experiences of 120 black and white female managers in the American business arena. In-depth histories bring to life the women's powerful and often difficult journeys from childhood to professional success, highlighting the roles that gender, race, and class played in their development. Although successful professional women come from widely diverse family backgrounds, educational experiences, and community values, they share a common assumption upon entering the workforce: "I have a chance." Along the way, however, they discover that people question their authority, challenge their intelligence, and discount their ideas. And while gender is a common denominator among these women, race and class are often wedges between them. In Our Separate Ways, you will find candid discussions about stereotypes, learn how black women's early experiences affect their attitudes in the business world, become aware of how white women have--perhaps unwittingly--aligned themselves more often with white men than with black women, and see ways that our country continues to come to terms with diversity in all of its dimensions. Whether you are a human resources director wondering why you're having trouble retaining black women, a white female manager considering the role of race in your office, or a black female manager searching for perspectives, you will find fresh insights about how black and white women's struggles differ and encounter provocative ideas for creating a better workplace environment for everyone.
