Abstract

This investigation examined gender-role orientations and attitudes towards women as managers among a sample of 194 Canadian business students. 71 female and 123 male undergraduate and graduate students provided data using anonymously completed questionnaires. The men exhibited significantly more negative attitudes towards women as managers than did the women. Students scoring higher on the Masculinity scale of the Bern Sex-role Inventory also had more negative attitudes towards women as managers. Potential costs of such attitudes as well as needed educational reforms in university business programs are mentioned.
