Few women reach top leadership positions so they are concentrated at low and middle levels of
management. This phenomenon was labeled as glass ceiling decades ago. The similarity between
stereotypes of men and stereotypes of leaders makes women’s advancement into leadership roles
difficult (think manager-think male association). Moreover, when women climb to upper management
jobs, they still face another form of discrimination, because they are often appointed to positions that
are more precarious and associated with a higher risk of failure than those occupied by men. This is
called glass cliff (Ryan & Haslam (2005)). In this case, it is assumed that women due to their
communal attributes may appear to be a better fi to deal with the socioemotional challenges that
(potential) crises present. In this context, people are more likely to make the alternative think crisisthink female association. The sample was composed of 240 Spanish university students (n = 96 men
and n = 144 women). Against our expectations, the results show that the masculine characteristics
(e.g., strong personality) are considered more suitable for a top managerial job than the feminine traits
(e.g., affectionate). In addition, boys and girls differ in this issue: male students prefer to a greater
extent masculine traits in comparison to female students, whereas female students prefer to a greater
extent feminine traits in comparison to male students. These findings show that traits associated
traditionally to men are seen more appropriate among highly-qualified people to organizational
management even in troubling times. The implications of the results for education, university teachinglearning process, future research guidelines, and limitations of the study are also discussed. [-]
