Gender, bottom-line mentality, and workplace mistreatment: The roles of gender norm violation and team gender composition.
研究基于角色一致性理论，发现底线心态对职场虐待的影响因性别而异：高底线心态的女性更易受虐待，低底线心态的男性更易受虐待，且团队中女性比例低时，高底线心态的女性更易被视为违反性别规范从而遭受虐待。
Although gender has been identified as an important antecedent in workplace mistreatment research, empirical research has shown mixed results. Drawing on role congruity theory, we propose an interactive effect of gender and bottom-line mentality on being the target of mistreatment. Across two field studies, our results showed that whereas women experienced more mistreatment when they had higher levels of bottom-line mentality, men experienced more mistreatment when they had lower levels of bottom-line mentality. In another field study, using round-robin survey data, we found that team gender composition influenced the degree to which the adoption of a bottom-line mentality by female team members was perceived to be a gender norm violation, which subsequently predicted their likelihood of being mistreated. Specifically, women who had higher (vs. lower) levels of bottom-line mentality were more likely to be perceived to violate gender norms in teams with a lower proportion of women, and in turn, perceived gender norm violation was positively associated with being mistreated. We discuss theoretical and practical implications of our findings and directions for future research. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2022 APA, all rights reserved).
