Gender and discipline in the workplace: Wait until your father gets home
研究发现,女性管理者执行纪律时被认为效果和公平性不如男性,这源于下属偏见和男女管理者行为差异,提醒管理者和下属注意对女性执行纪律的负面反应。
This study examined recipients’ perceptions of workplace discipline. Females delivering discipline were perceived to be less effective and less fair than males. Both recipients’ biases and behavior differences by male and female supervisors appear to contribute to reduced effectiveness. These results suggest the need to raise the awareness of managers and subordinates regarding potential negative reactions to females administering discipline. Special training in discipline delivery for female managers may also be warranted.
