The right to be known as knowing: how CEO political ideology shapes discrimination against female scientists
研究了CEO政治意识形态对企业专利中性别偏见的影响，发现保守派CEO领导的公司中女性发明人和女性主导专利申请比例更低，且CEO社会地位会调节这一关系。
This study explores the influence of CEO political ideology on gender bias within corporate patenting. Drawing on social dominance theory, we hypothesize that firms led by conservative CEOs exhibit lower ratios of women inventors and women-led patent applications. Furthermore, we propose that a CEO’s social status moderates this relationship, with higher status potentially weakening the impact of political conservatism on gender bias. We find evidence supporting these hypotheses by analyzing data from 162 CEOs between 2005 and 2014. Our findings highlight the significant role of managerial values in perpetuating gender inequality in innovation, suggesting that political ideology and social status are crucial determinants of gender bias in corporate patenting.
