Aggression: Relationships With Sex, Gender-Role Identity, and Gender-Role Stress

This article makes the functionalist claim that to be fully achieved, the change toward sex equality must occur in social, cultural, and personality systems and be apparent not only in the economy but in marriage and individual identity as well. The discussion suggests that the high rate of marital disruption, particularly in dual-earner marriages in which partners approach economic and occupational equality, represents a lag or strain between macro changes in society and related changes in marriage roles and gender role identity in personality. Traditional gender role identities, including subordinate and superordinate statuses for women and men respectively, are seen as congruent with earlier societal forms and less congruent with the demands of postindustrial society. In light of social differentiation, the changing status of women, and the loss of family functions, stable marriages are more likely to be achieved only by those individuals who develop strong capacities for autonomy and intimacy in their marital relationships. To achieve this is also to achieve less sex-typed gender role identities.

Purpose The authors wanted to assess the relevance of gender and gender role identity in developing managerial ambitions because of the shortage of females in top positions worldwide. The Chinese context was interesting because of the rapid social changes there. Design/methodology/approach The researchers collected data from participants attending a leadership training programme organized by three Chinese universities in Beijing in 2018. Most were from lower and middle-level managers in various government sectors from all over China. The authors distributed questionnaires with the aid of supervisors. Findings The study confirmed that individuals of either gender with stereotypically masculine characteristics have higher management aspirations. Results also showed people with androgynous traits tend to be more ambitious to be leaders. But female managers who perceive themselves as androgynous and masculine tend to possess higher management aspirations than females who see themselves as exhibiting feminine traits. Originality/value The authors of the study said the results would help companies to reach a better understanding of how to reduce the disparity in numbers of men and women in management positions.
