“…In addition, a majority of women (58%) report that their careers have not followed the traditional linear path established by successful, corporate men (Hewlett & Luce, ), which continues to be the predominant organizational career pattern. As media coverage of women in the workforce tends to be anecdotal rather than based on empirically tested data, this continues to reinforce unsubstantiated gender stereotypes (Dunn‐Jensen & Stroh, ). Thus, women have been viewed as less committed to their careers and lacking ambition despite empirical evidence to the contrary (Dunn‐Jensen & Stroh, ).…”

This study investigates the role of perceived riskiness in senior leadership selection decisions. Perceived riskiness is defined as the degree of uncertainty and the significance of the outcomes from the selection decision. Hypotheses that perceived riskiness is a mediator between a candidate's qualifications and selection as well as salary offer, and that gender moderates those relationships, were examined through structural equation modeling and logistic regression. A sample of 253 individuals with prior experience in hiring and promotion decisions responded to an online survey where they read a job description and candidate profile summary of one of the following: a highly qualified female, a highly qualified male, a moderately qualified female, or a moderately qualified male. The results demonstrated a complementary mediating effect of perceived riskiness between a candidate's qualifications and their selection, and between a candidate's qualifications and their salary offer. In addition, gender moderates the pathway from qualifications to perceived riskiness in that highly qualified women were perceived as less risky for senior leadership than highly qualified men, while moderately qualified women were seen as riskier for senior leadership than moderately qualified men. We offer recommendations for human resource professionals and hiring managers to recognize and mitigate the perceived riskiness of women in the selection process for senior leadership roles.

“…En efecto, uno de los cambios más relevantes a nivel global ha sido la incorporación de un creciente número de mujeres a la población activa (Dunn-Jensen & Stroh, 2007), lo que ha redundado de manera significativa en el desarrollo económico y social de muchos países (Baughn, Chua & Nupert, 2006). El Informe Women's Report Global Entrepreneurship Monitor 2010 (Kelley, Bosma & Amorós, 2011) señala la actividad emprendedora femenina como pieza fundamental para el desarrollo económico y social al contribuir a la creación de empleo e innovación.…”

AbstractThis paper presents the results of a qualitative research about the management and leadership models used by self-employed women and those who own SMEs. The main goal is to find out the existence of common guidelines in their business management approach. By using the focus group, interviews about their experiences and business strategies are recorded. TwentyAndalusian businesswomen take part in this project. The results show a transformational leadership. Their know-how is characterized by an important level of willingness to innovation, careful attention to details, as well as an outstanding support. All of them recognize the importance of the knowledge received from the women of their families who use to manage a household, a knowledge that has been extrapolated to their business. They all make up a new management model according to the new business and economic horizons.
