Gender and the evaluation of honest leaders - examining the link between gender as the Hhonesty source and leadership perceptions
| Resumo: | This thesis investigates the link between honesty, gender, and leadership effectiveness. It hypothesizes, based on literature that honesty leads to a higher leadership effectiveness rating. Furthermore, it suggests that there is a difference in leadership effectiveness rating when being (dis-)honest based on the leader’s gender. The experimental between-subjects study of 158 participants shows a significant positive link between honesty and leadership effectiveness rating. However, it could not find any gender differences in leadership effectiveness when the leader acts (dis-)honestly. This contributes to the literature on the effects of honesty and gender on leadership effectiveness. |
