Abstract

The present study examined the effect of the organizational culture of gender prejudice on the perception of the effectiveness as well as various psychological characteristics of male and female leaders, as suggested by the role incongruity theory. More specifically, we examined the effect of gender prejudice of the members of the organizations of the public sectors on male and female leaders' evaluation of themselves (Study 1) as well as the evaluation of the subordinates regarding their male and female leaders (Study 2). The results of Study 1 demonstrated that as expected, in the high-prejudiced organizations female leaders showed lower collective self-esteem, had fewer mentors and evaluated themselves as being less effective than male leaders did, while no such gender differences emerged in low-prejudiced organizations. Female leaders tended to evaluate their femininity characteristics lower in the high-prejudiced organization than in the low-prejudiced organization, unlike male leaders. The results of Study 2 demonstrated that in the low-prejudiced organization male and female subordinates did not differ in their evaluation of male and female leaders, while in the high-prejudiced organization male subordinates evaluated male leaders more positively than female leaders and female subordinates evaluated female leaders more positively than male leaders. We discussed the theoretical and practical implications of these results.
