| Abstract: | The low representation of women at the higher levels of public accounting has been attracting increasing attention lately. This paper tests the hypothesis that sex-role stereotypes negatively influence the evaluation of female, thus reducing the upward mobility of women to partnerships in public accounting.The pro-male bias in the study was weak but instances were found where male managers devalued female managers who exhibited dominant leadership styles. While the data fell short of isolating independent effects on leadership style and their interactions over time, the results suggest that some behavior is evaluated differently according to whether it is attributed to males or to females , and that evaluations may be influenced by factors acting in combination rather than in isolation. |
