The manager\u2019s role has been perceived as masculine, and the gender stereotypes are therefore, a barrier to women\u2019s access to management. With the aim to explore the relationship between gender stereotypes and management characteristics and discuss its implications for the discrimination of women in management a study was conducted among Portuguese undergraduate management students. The findings indicate that students of both sexes tend to perceive the \u201cmanager\u201d category as closer to the masculine stereotype than to the feminine stereotype. Additionally, for male students the \u201cman manager\u201d and \u201cmanager\u201d are more similar to each other than the \u201cwoman manager\u201d and \u201cmanager\u201d categories. However, the image of \u201cwoman manager\u201d appears not to distance itself considerably from the \u201cmanager\u201d stereotype as a result of her masculinisation. This paper discusses the implications of this asymmetric gender social representation that ultimately hinders the acceptance of women as a social group in the management context.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1108\/09649420310462352","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2003,3,15]],"date-time":"2003-03-15T08:55:05Z","timestamp":1047718505000},"page":"77-87","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":18,"title":["Gender asymmetries and the manager stereotype among management students"],"prefix":"10.1108","volume":"18","author":[{"given":"Em\u00edlia","family":"Fernandes","sequence":"first","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Carlos","family":"Cabral\u2010Cardoso","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]}],"member":"140","reference":[{"key":"key2022031120231010700_B1","unstructured":"Alvesson, M. and Billing, Y.D.
