Some Issues in Comparing Women and Men as Leaders.

Abstract

From a review of pertinent literature, this paper analyzes a number of factors which may account for differences noted regarding female and male leaders of mixed-sex groups. Granted that there are contrasts in the way followers of both sexes react to female or male leaders, it now appears that much depends also on such factors as the nature of the group task, the attitudes about appropriate sex-roles held by the leader and followers, and the kind of criterion measures used.
