Desire to work with woman managers: Turkish study reveals interplay between sexism and organizational culture

Abstract

Purpose

This paper aims to review the latest management developments across the globe and pinpoint practical implications from cutting-edge research and case studies.

Design/methodology/approach

This briefing is prepared by an independent writer who adds their own impartial comments and places the articles in context.

Findings

A study in Turkey revealed that neither hostile nor benevolent sexism directly influenced workers’ choice between same-sex, or opposite-sex managers. Meanwhile, perceived gender equality did influence a preference for working with female managers. But gender equality did not have a significant moderating effect on the relationship between hostile and benevolent sexism and the inclination to work with women managers.

Originality/value

The briefing saves busy executives, strategists and researchers hours of reading time by selecting only the very best, most pertinent information and presenting it in a condensed and easy-to-digest format.
