Abstract

This study explores the influence of CEO political ideology on gender bias within corporate patenting. Drawing on social dominance theory, we hypothesize that firms led by conservative CEOs exhibit lower ratios of women inventors and women-led patent applications. Furthermore, we propose that a CEO’s social status moderates this relationship, with higher status potentially weakening the impact of political conservatism on gender bias. We find evidence supporting these hypotheses by analyzing data from 162 CEOs between 2005 and 2014. Our findings highlight the significant role of managerial values in perpetuating gender inequality in innovation, suggesting that political ideology and social status are crucial determinants of gender bias in corporate patenting.

被称为知道的权利：首席执行官的政治意识形态如何影响对女科学家的歧视

本研究探讨CEO政治意识形态对企业专利性别偏见的影响。根据社会支配理论，我们假设在保守型ceo领导的公司中，女性发明家和女性领导的专利申请比例较低。此外，我们认为CEO的社会地位调节了这一关系，较高的社会地位可能会削弱政治保守主义对性别偏见的影响。通过分析2005年至2014年间162位ceo的数据，我们找到了支持这些假设的证据。我们的研究结果强调了管理价值观在延续创新中的性别不平等方面的重要作用，表明政治意识形态和社会地位是企业专利中性别偏见的关键决定因素。
