Attitudes toward women as managers: sex versus culture

摘要

This paper examines attitudes toward women mangers in Chile (n=194) and the USA (n=218) using the women as managers scale (WAMS) and a Spanish version of WAMS developed for this study. Across both cultures, two Coherent measures were labeled "acceptance" and "ability". No cultural differences in the acceptance of women as managers were discovered. The differences in acceptance were divided solely according to sex. There were differences in the perceived ability of women managers for both the sex and culture variables.
