Abstract

Despite important advances, gender-based discrimination continues to hinder women's career progress. This review examines the role that gender stereotypes play in promoting gender bias and discrimination. After reviewing what is known about the content of gender stereotypes and examining both their descriptive and prescriptive aspects, we discuss two pathways through which stereotypes result in discrepant work outcomes for women and men. First, we consider how the characterization of women as communal conflicts with the perceived demands of many male gender-typed jobs and fields, thus promoting perceptions of women's incompetence in those areas. Second, we consider how norms about how women should and should not behave cause women to incur penalties when they exhibit counter-stereotypical attributes and behaviors at work. Our review further focuses on the conditions that foster or undercut gender bias and discrimination and uses this knowledge as a foundation for proposing strategies to promote more egalitarian organizational processes.Expected final online publication date for the Annual Review of Organizational Psychology and Organizational Behavior, Volume 11 is January 2024.

工作中的女性:从性别刻板印象到性别偏见和歧视的途径

尽管取得了重大进展，但基于性别的歧视继续阻碍妇女的职业发展。本文审查了性别刻板印象在促进性别偏见和歧视方面所起的作用。在回顾了关于性别刻板印象的已知内容并检查了其描述性和规范性方面之后，我们讨论了刻板印象导致女性和男性工作结果差异的两条途径。首先，我们考虑了将女性作为社区的特征如何与许多男性性别类型的工作和领域的感知需求相冲突，从而促进了女性在这些领域的无能的看法。其次，我们考虑当女性在工作中表现出与常规相反的属性和行为时，关于女性应该和不应该如何行为的规范是如何导致女性受到惩罚的。我们的回顾进一步聚焦于促进或削弱性别偏见和歧视的条件，并以此为基础提出促进更平等的组织过程的策略。《组织心理学和组织行为年度评论》第11卷的最终在线出版日期预计为2024年1月。修订后的估计数请参阅http://www.annualreviews.org/page/journal/pubdates。
