Are Female Supervisors More Female-Friendly?
利用NCAA一级项目体育主管的流动数据,研究发现主管性别与雇佣和留住女性主教练的倾向无关,建议关注更复杂的管理者类型。
We introduce the idea that easily inferable demographic characteristics such as gender may not be sufficient to define type in the supervisor-employee mentoring relationship. We use longitudinal data on athletic directors at NCAA Division I programs to identify through observed mobility the propensity of top-level administrators to hire and retain female head coaches, above and beyond an organization's culture. We show that supervisor gender appears to be unrelated to female friendliness in this setting. Overall, our findings indicate that more focus should be placed on the more complex manager type defined by attitudes in addition to attributes.
