Attributional Processes

Research on leadership style, conducted primarily with males, usually assumes that the leader's style causes group performance. Attribution theory suggests the reverse causal argument and has been supported in research using male leaders. The present study, using a quasi-experimental design and 256 students in introductory management, found that female managers of high-performing groups were evaluated and described differently than female managers of low-performing groups, even though their behavioral styles were identical. The results suggest that attributional processes applied to leadership are similar for male and female managers.

The purpose of this study is to identify how accounting and finance professionals perceive the leadership styles adopted by their male and female leaders. In order to analyze the hypothesis that there are differences in leadership styles between men and women, a bibliographical review of leadership style and contingency theories was carried out. For the data collection, an electronic survey was carried out, using an adapted version of the EAEG (Escala de Avaliação do Estilo Gerencial) scale proposed by Melo (2004), totaling 278 valid responses. Although the general hypothesis has been rejected, the results indicate that women still face differences in their chances of assuming leadership positions.

The reward received by employees led by male and female middle managers was influenced by employee performance. The job satisfaction of employees led by male and female middle managers was determined by intrinsic and extrinsic rewards they received. Male middle managers generally applied transactional leadership style while female used transactional and transformational leadership styles. Gender difference caused differences in behaviors, mentality, and emotional characteristics which are the results of socio-cultural constructs in the society which produced differences in leadership style, behavior and work attitude.

A survey of attitudes towards capital punishment was undertaken to investigate the opinions upheld by 126 first-year male and female university students. Subjects were divided into one of four leadership groups according to their scores on the Leadership Ability Evaluation. A two-way analysis of variance was used to examine subjects' attitudes towards capital punishment on the basis of gender and leadership style. The Autocratic-Submissive and Autocratic-Aggressive leadership grounds were found to have significantly harsher attitudes towards capital punishment from the Laissez-faire leadership group. No significant gender differences were found for this variable. Evaluation of personality with the California Psychological Survey showed that tolerance and attitude toward capital punishment were significantly correlated. The lower the subject's tolerance, the harsher the attitude toward capital punishment.

Linguistic Practices

Sociolinguistic research is interested in the way people, including leaders, use language to construct and perform social identities. Given that an increasing number of professional women have to do leadership side by side with men, this case study research, which was conducted at the Lebanese International University, studied gender and leadership styles from a qualitative content analytical perspective. More specifically, it sought to determine male and female leadership styles and to investigate their linguistic practices through the analysis of self-reflections and interviews. The researcher used five male and five female coordinators’ self-reflections and transcribed interviews that were collected, analysed and categorised to find out any differences in the leadership style and language use of male and female leaders in the academic settings. The findings showed the influence of the genders in their choice of linguistic expressions indicating the noteworthy dominance of the two prevalent dimensions in leadership styles, namely, transformational and transactional. Keywords: Gender leadership styles, gender linguistic practices, transformational leadership, transactional leadership, Lebanon.
