矛盾性别偏见对女性职业发展的影响:从初入职场到领导层困境
The Impact of Ambivalent Sexism on Women’s Career Development: From Workforce Entry to Leadership Challenges
摘要: 研究旨在探讨矛盾性别偏见(敌意与善意)对女性职业发展的跨阶段影响,通过系统综述揭示其作用机制。研究表明,敌意性别偏见通过直接阻碍女性进入男性主导领域、降低晋升机会及加剧职场歧视显著限制职业发展;善意性别偏见则隐蔽强化传统性别角色,导致女性自我设限、资源分配不公及领导效能低估。二者在职业选择、职场表现与领导层困境中呈现累积效应。
Abstract: The study aims to explore the cross-stage impact of ambivalent sexism (hostile and benevolent) on women’s career development, revealing its mechanisms through a systematic review. Research indicates that hostile sexism significantly hinders career advancement by directly obstructing women’s entry into male-dominated fields, reducing promotion opportunities, and exacerbating workplace discrimination. Benevolent sexism, on the other hand, subtly reinforces traditional gender roles, leading to women’s self-limitation, unequal resource allocation, and underestimation of leadership effectiveness. Both types of bias exhibit cumulative effects across career choices, workplace performance, and leadership challenges.
