Female first, leader second? Gender bias in the encoding of leadership behavior (2006, background): “Moreover, other Wndings suggest that males and leaders are not perceived to diVer in the extent to which they possess person-oriented (i.e., communal) and task-oriented (i.e., agentic) skills (Sczesny, 2003).”
Women directors' contribution to board decision‐making and strategic involvement: The role of equality perception (2010, result): “This is consistent with prior research suggesting that male managers in particular question the effectiveness of women leaders (Sczesny, 2003).”
MEN, WOMEN, AND MANAGERS: ARE STEREOTYPES FINALLY CHANGING? (2006, methodology): “With respect to leadership-specific scales, we formed task and relationship-oriented scales based on recent research by Sczesny (2003) and Sczesny, Bosak, Neff, and Schyns (2004), who classified attributes into highly reliable task and person-oriented scales.”
Women and Leadership (2017, background): “Schein’s (1973) think manager–think male paradigm, posits that successful leaders are perceived as possessing characteristics, attitudes, and temperaments that are closely aligned with the global masculine stereotype (e.g., competent, verbal skills, determination, and industriousness; Sczesny, 2003)”
Implicit Leadership Theories: Think Leader, Think Effective? (2011, background): “Similarly, research on the think-manager-think-male phenomenon (Schein, 1973, 1975; Sczesny, 2003) and on match between implicit leadership theories and actual leader behavior (Nye, 2002, 2005; Nye & Forsyth, 1991) focused on ideal or effective leaders.”
Disabling the Able: Stereotype Threat and Women's Work Performance (2006, background): “…managers perceive that the characteristics associated with successful managers are more likely to be held by men than by women (Boyce & Herd, 2003; Brenner, Tomkiewciez, & Schein, 1989; Heilman, Block, Martell, & Simon, 1989; Powell, Butterfield, & Parent, 2002; Schein, 1973, 1975; Sczesny, 2003).”
Gender Bias in Leader Selection? Evidence from a Hiring Simulation Study (2011, background): “Evidence from German managers (Sczesny 2003a) and from German business students (Schein and Mueller 1992; Sczesny 2003b ) shows that gender stereotypic beliefs about leadership still prevail in men’s and women’s view of leaders and women in Germany.”
Leadership Efficacy and Women Leaders' Responses to Stereotype Activation (2007, background): “This gender leader stereotype (aka think-manager-think-male stereotype) is well validated (Sczesny, 2003).”
Gender Stereotypes and the Attribution of Leadership Traits: A Cross-Cultural Comparison (2004, background): “The impact of gender stereotypes on leadership perception has recently been replicated with such specific traits (see Sczesny, 2003a, 2003b ).”
Gender role stereotypes and requisite management characteristics : the case of South Africa (2010, unknown): “…Schein (1973) using samples in the United States, although a number of scholars have studied the manager-as-male stereotype since that time (e.g. Heilman, 2001; Duehr and Bono, 2006; Jackson, Engstrom and Emmers-Sommer (2007); Powell, Butterfield and Parent, 2002; Sczesny, 2003; Willemsen, 2002).”
Am I the Right Candidate? Self-Ascribed Fit of Women and Men to a Leadership Position (2008, background): “…the Personal Attributes Questionnaire (PAQ, Spence et al. 1974, 1975) or the Bem-Sex-Role-Inventory (BSRI, Bem 1974) that contain global traits for agency among which some can be also seen as relatively irrelevant in the context of leadership (i.e., athletic, individualistic) (Sczesny 2003).”
“Think Athletic Director, Think Masculine?”: Examination of the Gender Typing of Managerial Subroles Within Athletic Administration Positions (2009, background): “In addition, Sczesny (2003) has reported development of a more androgynous view of managerial and leadership skills.”
