Abstract
This study replicated our earlier study (Powell & Butterfield,1979) of the applicability of the androgyny concept to management and reanalyzed that data using a revised Bem Sex-Role Inventory. Reanalysis of our earlier data showed that the good manager was described as more androgynous and less masculine on the revised instrument than on the original instrument. However, the good manager was described as more masculine and less androgynous by some groups in the newer sample as compared with their counterparts in the earlier sample. Overall, despite a considerable increase in the proportion of women managers, male and female undergraduate and part-time graduate business students continued to describe the "good manager" as masculine rather than androgynous. Implications of the results for theory, practice, and training and development are discussed.
