Résumé :

According to role congruence theory (Eagly & Karau, 2002), it is not the evaluative content of the stereotype ofwomen but its mismatch with leadership roles that underlies women discrimination with regards to leadershiproles. The current study sought to establish whether leaders gender identity or the extent to which the leaderpossesses traits associated with traditional gender stereotypes may explain leadership styles. Using a sample of163 managers working within the bank and personal care services, results show that among both male andfemale leaders, masculine gender identity was more strongly related to group-focused transformationalleadership (charisma, inspirational motivation, and idealized influence), transformational intellectual stimulationleadership and to transactional leadership styles. Furthermore, the results show that masculine leadership selfefficacymediates the relationship between gender identity and leadership styles. Results are discussed inrelation to previous research.
