Sex Differences in Supervisory Consideration: A Short Note

Abstract

This paper investigates sex effects in the role behaviours of practising managers: Do female managers show high levels of consideration, consistent with existing stereotypes? The literature suggests conversely that female managers are male-oriented in their approach. Using a matched sample of 38 university administrators, from the same institution, and self-reports of job behaviours, this conclusion is not supported for this group. There are no significant differences between the sexes on the Hersey and Blanchard (1982) measures. The importance of contextual factors which might influence these findings is discussed.
