Inspiring leaders: An empirical study of female supervisors at work

The thesis was published by Mensvoort, C.A. van, in January 2023, Radboud University Nijmegen.

Abstract:

The growing presence of women in supervisory positions has raised the question on the implications of female supervisors at work. Who are the female supervisors, and do they bring something different to the workplace for their employees? In general, women and men do not have similar experiences at the labour market: for example, women have lower chances for a high salary and demanding upward careers, and often combine their job with (relatively) more care tasks at home. Now that more women have obtained (formal) influence via their supervisory position, this dissertation focuses on female supervisors’ work opinions and work influences for their employees.
