Abstract

The number of women occupying mid-management positions in organizations has steadily increased. The types of organizations where women manage are increasingly diverse yet some remain male-dominated. Studies have explored managerial women’s management styles as well as the challenges they encounter. However, little is known empirically about the dynamic between managerial women and their female subordinates. This study investigates the presence of and attitudes towards women who manage within male and female-dominated cultures. The study explores whether female subordinate attitudes and perceptions vary based on organizational type. It also examines whether female subordinates differ in their intention to leave the organization.
