Female nursing supervisors and subordinate nurses in an American hospital were given questionnaires to see if there was a link between sex‐role behaviour and leadership style. It is concluded that a form of job stereotyping exists, since individuals in supervisory positions are perceived by others as being less feminine, simply because they hold that position.

In recent years, there has been a growing interest by economists in manufacturing productivity trends in the United States. The purpose of this paper is to construct a composite productivity index using data for the three growth factors - capital, labor and technological change - in order to rank the states, and consequently the regions. Composite index values are of general interest because they allow comparison based on more than one criterion variable simultaneously.
