女性高管领导力研究:综述与展望

Female Executive Leadership Research:A Review and Prospects

随着女性担任高层管理人员的数量逐渐增加,以及两性平等问题越来越受到社会的关注,女性高管领导力开始成为管理学领域的热点议题。当前女性高管领导力的研究呈现出以女性CEO、女性董事以及女性高管团队成员等不同角色为对象的单线、点状分布特征,对女性领导力的构念和测量仅为是否存在女性高管或女性高管占比,缺乏基于内容的构念化,以及关于不同女性领导角色的研究结论普适性与特殊性的比较和总结。鉴于国内对该领域的研究尚处于起步阶段,有必要对现有文献进行系统性梳理并对未来研究方向提出指引性建议。本文对国内外女性高管领导力的研究进行了系统回顾,介绍和评述女性高管领导力的概念和测量,归纳和比较女性高管领导力研究的基础理论,梳理和评价女性高管领导力的影响因素及其对公司战略决策和组织绩效作用效果的实证研究,据此分析了不同角色女性高管研究的理论基础和研究结论的异同,总结了一个整体的研究框架,对女性高管领导力的未来研究提出了回探基本假设、深入研究对象、拓展研究情境、丰富研究场景和延伸时间维度等五个方面的建议。本文也将为我国在高管层面上促进性别平等的社会和企业实践提供理论指南。

With the increasing number of women serving as senior executives and gender equality receiving more and more social attention,female executive leadership has become a hot topic in the field of management.Existing research on female executive leadership shows a single line and point distribution pattern,targeting different roles such as female CEOs,female directors,and female executive team members.The concepts and measurements of female leadership only focus on the presence or proportion of female executives,lacking content-based conceptualization,and summarization and comparison of the universality and specificity of research conclusions on different female leadership roles.Given that research in this field is still in its early stages in China,it is necessary to systematically review existing literature and provide guiding suggestions for future directions.This paper provides a systematic review of research on female executive leadership both domestically and internationally.It clarifies the concepts and measurements of female executive leadership,compares the basic theories of female executive leadership research,and sorts out and evaluates empirical research on the influencing factors of female executive leadership and its impact on corporate strategic decisionmaking and organizational performance.Based on this,it analyzes the theoretical basis and research conclusions of different roles of female executives,constructs a comprehensive research framework,and proposes five suggestions for future research on female executive leadership,including exploring basic hypotheses,delving into research objects,expanding research contexts,enriching research scenarios,and extending time dimensions.This paper also provides theoretical guidance for promoting gender equality in social and corporate practices at the executive level in China.
