Abstract
Despite greater visibility of women in leadership, women continue to be under-represented at the executive level. This study investigated ratings of competence as a function of participant gender, supervisor gender and participant job type in a multinational corporation with the hope of contributing to the literature differentiating slow move toward equality from continued bias based on gender norms. Results did not support predicted forms of bias. An unpredicted three-way interaction showed a cross-gender effect for scientists but not managers. A two-way interaction indicated that male supervisors rated women more highly than the women rated themselves but they rated men less positively than the men rated themselves. Results were discussed in terms of Gender-Role Congruity Theory and the challenges of field research.
