Sex Differences in Response to Simulated Employee Discipline Cases.

Larwood, Laurie; And Others

Personnel Psychology, v32 n3 p539-50 Fall 1979

Personnel managers examined vignettes in which an employee had made a serious mistake. Responses indicated that employees in traditionally male-identified positions were seen as more competent than those in female-identified jobs. Punishing personnel action was least likely to be recommended for men in traditionally male positions. (Author/SJL)
