Does Gender Biasness against Female Bosses/Leaders Persist: A Review
Keywords:
Gender, biasness, leadership, women, men, effective, performanceAbstract
In terms of educational achievement and leadership competency scores, women now surpass males. It is not enough to just disregard female supervisors. In actuality, workers take a little longer to receive feedback from female bosses. Implicit biases cannot account for these results either. Although it is often more common for employees to instinctively link males with careers and women with families as males are considered more effective than women, this propensity does not indicate whether they will be biased towards female employers. Women are frequently expected to be selfless, so when they express criticism, they go against the stereotype that they should always be helpful, even when the criticism is intended to benefit the employee. Though women have been great leaders in their profession but they are acknowledged and not given due regards and importance
