La persistencia de los estereotipos de género sobre las competencias de liderazgo

Contenido principal del artículo
Resumen
Este artículo estudia los estereotipos de género sobre las competencias de liderazgo entre hombres y mujeres, y el efecto del pensamiento estereotipado sobre la autoestima de dichas competencias. Nos basamos en datos de encuestas originales que miden tanto el pensamiento estereotipado de género como la autoestima, sobre una extensa lista de 25 competencias de liderazgo. Nuestro principal hallazgo es que las actitudes estereotipadas de género tienen un efecto sustancial en la autoestima y que este efecto es mayor para las mujeres que para los hombres. También encontramos que los estereotipos más fuertes existen para las competencias en las que se considera que las mujeres son mejores (como empatizar); que tanto los hombres como las mujeres tienen estereotipos, aunque los estereotipos son más fuertes entre los hombres (especialmente para las competencias que están más estrechamente relacionadas con el liderazgo); que existen diferencias sustanciales de género en la autoestima sobre ciertas competencias específicas de liderazgo, pero no sobre la competencia general para liderar; y que las teorías implícitas del liderazgo están fuertemente relacionadas con los estereotipos de género (competencias que están más fuertemente relacionadas con el liderazgo, son también competencias de las que los encuestados consideran que los hombres son mejores en ello).
