Women and the Psychology of Management.
Uehling, Barbara S.
Attitudes of others toward women in management and the attitudes of women managers themselves are discussed. Research concludes: (1) Employers may be reluctant to place women in managerial positions, but internal constraints on women such as lack of motivation, fear of success or possession of personality characteristics incompatible with the assumption of managerial positions may limit access. (2) Accessibility is restricted by type of industry, type of job in industry, and attitudes of management towards women. (3) In elementary and secondary schools, the only factor having any significance for hiring was sex. (4) Accessibility to positions of leadership may be further limited by lack of appropriate role models or lack of identification with available role models. (5) Accessibility may be limited by self-defeating attitudes of women. (MJM)
