  • Title: Sex roles in management: the impact of varying power of speech style on union members' perception of satisfaction and effectiveness.
    Author: Geddes D.
    Journal: J Psychol; 1992 Nov; 126(6):589-607. PubMed ID: 1289503.
    Abstract:
    Effective management has traditionally been associated with men and masculine characteristics. In this study, I focused on manager communication, specifically the perceived effects of stereotypical gender/power speech styles. Union members viewed and rated a male and a female manager on videotape using three gender/power speech styles: stereotypical masculine (powerful), stereotypical feminine (powerless), and mixed gender/power. Union respondents judged both the male and female manager using the mixed gender/power speech style as most effective and as being associated with the most satisfied employees.
