“…Using matched employee-employer data, Halld en et al (2018) found that the overall wages of female employees are 3% lower when the managers are women. La Mattina et al (2018) also confirmed the existence of the queen bee phenomenon through a study of three sub-Saharan African countries and found that female CEOs would reduce the relative wages of female employees. Therefore, we propose the following competing hypotheses:…”

PurposeDespite the growing research interest in gender diversity, the presence of female executives and organizational outcomes, the relationship between female executives and employment relations outcomes remains under-researched. This study aims to examine the potential relationship between female executives and employment relations outcomes, with the gender gap as a focus.Design/methodology/approachA cross-sectional survey was used to collect data from 2,682 workers from 119 manufacturing firms in Guangdong Province, southern China.FindingsResults show that firms with female executives are more likely to comply with labor laws and promote staff development. The association between female executives and promotion opportunities is stronger for female employees than for male employees. However, there is no significant association between female executives and employee salaries.Originality/valueThis research contributes to employment relations literature and extends the application of social role theory to studies of employment relations in particular societal contexts. This study also provides possible boundary conditions for the existence of queen bee behavior by using data from Chinese factories.

“…A few studies employ data with samples representative of all industries (namely, Abendroth, Melzer, Kalev, & Tomaskovic‐Devey, ; Cohen & Huffman, ; Hultin & Szulkin, ; LaMattina, Picone, Ahoure, & Kimou, ). However, these studies are subject to other limitations that may limit the generalizability of their findings.…”

Management gender composition and the gender pay gap: Evidence from British panel data

Women continue to earn less than their male counterparts globally. Scholars and feminist activists have suggested a partial explanation for this gender gap in earnings could be women's limited access to power structures at the workplace. Using the linked employer–employee data of the Workplace Employment Relations Study 2004–2011, this article asks what happens to the gender gap in earnings among non‐managerial employees when the share of women in management at the workplace increases. The findings, based on workplace‐fixed time‐fixed effects regression models, suggest that workplace‐level increases in the share of women in management are associated with decreases of the non‐managerial gender gap in earnings. This effect appears to be largely unrelated to changes in equality and diversity policies, family‐friendly arrangements and support for carers at the workplace.
