Abstract

The problem end purpose. This article is devoted to the identification of structural patterns of leadership styles and propensity to victim behavior in male and female managers in educational institutions. Theoretical analysis of scientific sources has shown that the authoritarian management style is most important for the occurrence of victimization in the workplace, which leads to a significantly higher number of symptoms of psychological stress in employees. However, no research has been found on the specifics of gender-role characteristics of the relationship between victim parameters and management styles in the educational space, which was the purpose of the study. Methodology. In accordance with the goal, the study of leadership style, managerial functions and propensity to victim behavior was conducted in 166 managers of educational organizations in Novosibirsk and Kemerovo, including 100 men and 66 women. The age range was M = 44.2 years. Results. The obtained correlations (the R-Spearman criterion) demonstrate that there are twice as many relationships between management styles of managers and parameters of victim behavior in the female sample as in the male sample, while in the former there is a predominance of negative statistically significant relationships. It was found that the maximum structuring and organization of the main victim-style parameters of managers takes place in women to a greater extent than in men-managers. Conclusion. Based on the results of the study it was concluded that the effectiveness of management activities in the field of higher education is determined not only by severity of management style and how he connected with the floor Manager, the victimization of the individual and the internal organization of the structure of their interactions. This means that structural effects are more important and effective in the management activities of heads of educational organizations.
