The Effect Of Ceo Gender On Real Earnings Management, Candice Luciano, Shan Wang

Particularly, I find that investors respond relatively less favorably to the appointment of female CFOs compared to that of male CFOs at firms characterized by high uncertainty. Further, the evidence …

Exploring How Women On Corporate Boards Cope With Gender Bias, Sharon Roberts
Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies
Gender bias may cause organizations to lose the values that women bring to the workplace in leadership positions and may thwart women from reaching their personal goals.

The conceptual lens used was Tajfel and Turner's social identity theory to explain the basis for intergroup discrimination, and Eagly and Karau's role congruity theory of prejudice to explain the exclusion of …
