Abstract

Objective: to assess the gender leadership style of managers in the Moroccan health sector.

Method: Descriptive study. The Multifactor Leadership Questionnaire (MLQ), a questionnaire that evaluates leadership style, was used to collect data from 120 managers in the Moroccan healthcare sector (40 female managers and 80 male managers).

Results: In Morocco, the representation of women in positions of responsibility and power is still lower than that of men. However, the average score on the transformational leadership style scales for female managers among the 120 people surveyed was 15.51, while the average score on the transactional leadership style scales was only 6.073. While the average score on the transformational leadership style scales for male managers among the 120 respondents was 10.26, the average score on the transactional leadership style scales was 8.57. These results demonstrated the existence of a difference between the leadership style and gender of managers in the healthcare sector.

Conclusion: This study was able to confirm the theory underlining the difference between the two leadership styles of male and female managers, even in a sector such as healthcare.

领导风格与性别。摩洛哥卫生管理人员的案例。

目标：评估摩洛哥卫生部门管理人员的性别领导风格：描述性研究。使用多因素领导力问卷（MLQ）收集摩洛哥卫生保健部门 120 名管理人员（40 名女性管理人员和 80 名男性管理人员）的数据：结果：在摩洛哥，女性担任责任和权力职位的比例仍然低于男性。然而，在接受调查的 120 人中，女性管理人员在变革型领导风格量表上的平均得分为 15.51 分，而在交易型领导风格量表上的平均得分仅为 6.073 分。在 120 名受访者中，男性管理者在变革型领导风格量表上的平均得分为 10.26 分，而在交易型领导风格量表上的平均得分为 8.57 分。这些结果表明，医疗保健行业管理人员的领导风格与性别之间存在差异：本研究证实了男性和女性管理者两种领导风格之间存在差异的理论，即使在医疗保健行业也是如此。
