Prejudice against Women in Male-congenial Environments: Perceptions of Gender Role Congruity in Leadership (2006, background): “Furthermore, research has shown that masculine characteristics are important predictors of leadership and are ascribed to leaders in many contexts, regardless of the leader’s gender ( Powell, Butterfield, & Parent, 2002; Schein, 2001).”

Gender Stereotypes and the Attribution of Leadership Traits: A Cross-Cultural Comparison (2004, neutral): “This phenomenon of think-manager–thinkmale was confirmed in many subsequent studies; thus, management is still associated with being male (e.g., Heilman, Block, & Martell, 1995; Powell, Butterfield, & Parent, 2002; Sczesny, 2003a, 2003b; Willemsen, 2002).”
