“…However, several limitations and areas of future research are worth mentioning. First, although the fact that we conducted the study in Spain is a strength in that it extends previous conceptual perspectives developed in Anglo-Saxon countries, it may at the same time limit the generalizability of the findings to other cultural contexts (see Brodbeck et al, 2000 for cross-cultural considerations in leadership research; see also Gartzia & López-Zafra, 2014 for considerations about Spain). Second, although we conducted our studies with different types of samples and using different experimental set-ups, participants in the two studies had almost no work experience.…”

“…Following previous methodological approaches of addressing the state in the art in a given area of gender research by counting relevant papers in the previous literature ( Eagly et al, 2012 ; Gartzia and López-Zafra, 2014 , 2016 ), we examined research in several psychosocial domains during the 1980–2017 period following the method of counting relevant journal articles from the PsycINFO database. Note that 2017 is the most recent date for which complete data are available in the database as of this writing.…”

Emotional Androgyny: A Preventive Factor of Psychosocial Risks at Work?

Although previous studies have acknowledged the connections between gender and emotional competences, more research is needed on how gender and emotion interact to influence psychosocial risks at work. This paper addresses how gender stereotypes and emotions simultaneously act as psychosocial antecedents of organizational stress. Following the principles of psychological androgyny, we propose that a combination of communion and agency can serve as a preventive factor at work and lead to healthier responses by providing a wider range of emotional competences to deal with organizational demands. Following previous methodological approaches, we include a quantitative review about scientific research on occupational health in the PsycINFO database during the period 1980–2017 from a multidimensional gender perspective that differentiates between studies addressing the topic from either sex, gender or gender identity dimensions. Finally, we propose new analytical directions to deal with psychosocial hazards at work by underscoring some of the complex ways in which gender and emotional competences influence psychosocial risks at work.

“…Results showed that the ability of communal as opposed to agentic male leaders to stimulate cooperation is not limited to one particular experimental set-up or experimental design. Furthermore, our results were not limited to a particular operationalization of leadership or cooperation and, not limited to one cultural context (see Gartzia & López-Zafra, 2014, for a discussion about specificities of gender research in Spain). A study’s strengths are often obtained at the expense of some weaknesses, however, and the present study is no exception in that respect.…”

This study challenges researchers and practitioners in the field of leadership to consider communion as a relevant variable for (male) leadership effectiveness. We suggest that communal traits influence the ability of male leaders to engender cooperation and that this effect is stronger in male-dominated contexts. We argue that this is because relevant traits and leadership behaviors that underscore a sense of community are associated with stereotypically feminine roles and identity. In a series of three studies, experimental as well as survey-based, using Spanish, Dutch, and American samples, we examined such gendered construction of male leadership and its effects on cooperation. Among others, results are discussed in terms of how stereotypically masculine constructions of male leadership may create barriers to effective leadership.
