Attityder till kvinnligt och manligt ledarskap

Sammanfattning: The purpose of the study was to examine if preferred stereotypical leadership and gender could predict women’s employability to leading positions. The survey, which was selfconstructed containing a scenario module was conducted on co-workers (N=97) in the Vaxjo area. The result showed that the female candidate in the scenario was preferred as leader prior to the male candidate. However, there were no gender differences between the male and female participants’ preferred stereotypical leadership. The findings did not support the hypotheses.
