Abstract:
This study examined the perceived conflict-management behavior and effectiveness of 45 managers who had been rated by 230 subordinates as representing masculine, feminine, or androgynous gender-role types. Analysis indicated that managers perceived by their subordinates as being androgynous were rated as better handlers of conflict situations than their masculine or feminine peers.
