"The concept of masculinity is becoming more elusive in society as gender roles blur, with more women taking management positions and becoming the major breadwinners for their families," said lead researcher Ekaterina Netchaeva, an assistant professor of management and technology at Bocconi University in Milan, Italy. " Even men who support gender equality may see these advances as a threat to their masculinity, whether they consciously acknowledge it or not. " While women are underrepresented in senior management positions in the United States, they are almost on par with men at middle and lower management levels, according to Labor Department statistics. In three experiments, Netchaeva and her co-authors discovered that men feel more threatened when they answer to female bosses.
In an experiment with 76 college students(52 male, 24 female)at a U. S. university, participants were told they would negotiate their salary at a new job in a computer exercise with a male or female hiring manager. After the negotiation, participants took an implicit threat test where they guessed words that appeared on a computer screen for a fraction of a second. Participants who chose more threat-related words, including "fear" or "risk" , were judged to feel more threatened. Male participants who negotiated with a female manager exhibited more threat and pushed for a higher salary($49,400 average), compared to men negotiating with a male manager($ 42,870 average). The manager’s gender didn’t affect female participants, who negotiated for a lower salary($41,346 average), reflecting a common trend where women tend to be less aggressive than men in negotiations, Netchaeva said.
In another experiment, 68 male college students had to decide how to split a $ 10,000 bonus with a male or female team member or supervisor. Male participants evenly split the money with male or female team members, but men felt more threatened by a female supervisor and tried to keep more money for themselves than with a male supervisor.
In a similar experiment conducted online with 370 adult participants(226 male, 144 female)from the United States, men were more receptive to female supervisors who were described as proactive and direct rather than self-promotive and power-seeking. Specifically, male participants tried to keep a larger share of the $ 10,000 bonus if the female manager was described as ambitious or power-seeking. Female participants offered roughly the same bonus amount to proactive or ambitious female managers.
Self-assertive behavior by men toward female bosses could disrupt the workplace dynamics, stifle team cohesiveness and negatively affect team performance, Netchaeva said. "In an ideal world, men would be concerned by these findings and adjust their behavior accordingly. But if they don’t, where does that leave women?" she said. "Given the strong societal norms surrounding masculinity, it may be difficult for men to recognize or change their behavior. " If men won’t change their actions, then female supervisors may want to appear more proactive and less power-seeking to maintain smooth relationships in the workplace, Netchaeva said.
It can be inferred that______.
选项
A、female managers should adjust their own behavior in workplace
B、men must avoid masculinity to strengthen the team cohesiveness
C、men should keep a higher share of bonus for their female leader
D、men should face up to women’s achievement and their masculinity
答案
D
解析
细节推理题。根据题干定位到全文,定位词为infer。最后一段最后一句指出“如果他们不改变,女上司会变得更加积极主动,也会在工作中为了保持稳定的关系而不会那么强烈地追逐权力”,由此可知原文只是在假设男性不做出改变的情况下,女性上司不得不改变自己,以维持工作的稳定关系,但作者的本意是希望男性意识到自己的侵略行为,正视女性取得的成就和男性气质,相应地调整自己,而不是一味只让女性做出改变,故[D]选项说法正确。[A]选项说法错误,排除。[B]选项说法过于绝对,因为男性气质是不可以避免的,只能说男性需要在工作中注意调整自己的情绪,保持工作中的稳定关系,故[B]选项说法错误,排除。[C]选项属于无中生有,由原文并未能推测出男性应该给女上司留更多的奖金,故排除。
