Abstract
-
Two hundred women and 144 men read a script in which either a male or female manager discussed a job performance problem with either a male or female subordinate. In general, regardless of whether subjects read about a same-sex or opposite-sex model, or whether the subordinate was male or female, there were no significant differences between men's and women's ratings of the model's effectiveness, the likelihood of their imitating the behavior of the manager, or their self-expectations of effectiveness if they imitated the manager's behavior. However, women were significantly more likely than men to perceive the task as difficult when the subordinate was male, and the manager as lucky when the subordinate was female. In addition, differences were found on the basis of respondent demographic characteristics, such as supervisory status and education. Compared to male supervisors, female supervisors were more likely to view the task as difficult and their handling it well important when the subordinate was male. Compared to graduate women, undergraduate women evaluated the manager more positively, and they were more inclined to believe that they would model the behavior of the manager in the script.
