To examine the relationship between gender role stereotypes and requisite managerial characteristics within the nursing and midwifery profession.
Studies have been carried out to determine gender role stereotypes and requisite managerial characteristics across a number of industries and among student samples. No study has been carried out within the nursing and midwifery profession.
In order to allow for direct comparisons with previous research Schein's Descriptive Index (SDI) was used. A total 239 undergraduate and 171 postexperience responses were collected.
Female nurses and midwives did not gender type the managerial role, whereas males gender typed the managerial role in favour of men. Student nurses and midwives recorded a stronger correlation between women and management than their qualified counterparts.
Males gender typed the managerial role in favour of men. With an increase in numbers of men joining the profession and increased representation of males at the Clinical Nurse Manager (CMN) level there is a possibility that the profession will become two tiered. Health care organisations should pay careful consideration to career development and implement career structures which ensure equal access to managerial roles for both genders.
探讨护理和助产行业中性别角色刻板印象与必要的管理特征之间的关系。
已开展多项研究以确定多个行业以及学生样本中的性别角色刻板印象和必要的管理特征。尚未在护理和助产行业内开展相关研究。
为了能够与先前的研究进行直接比较,使用了施恩描述性指数(SDI)。共收集到239份本科学生和171份有工作经验者的回复。
女护士和助产士并未对管理角色进行性别归类,而男性则将管理角色进行了有利于男性的性别归类。学生护士和助产士所记录的女性与管理之间的相关性比其已取得资质的同行更强。
男性将管理角色进行了有利于男性的性别归类。随着加入该行业的男性数量增加以及男性在临床护士长(CMN)级别中的代表性提高,该行业有可能会出现两极分化。医疗保健机构应仔细考虑职业发展,并实施确保男女平等获得管理职位的职业架构。
