Abstract(s)
Este artigo tem três objectivos: a) explorar as diferenças na eficácia percebida de
líderes femininos e masculinos; b) conhecer que estilo de liderança adopta o líder feminino
(estilo transformacional vs transaccional); e c) averiguar a relação entre a eficácia percebida
do líder e algumas características individuais dos liderados.
Os 80 participantes deste estudo, 34 do sexo masculino e 46 do sexo feminino, espelharam a
percepção do seu líder respondendo ao Questionário de Liderança Multifactorial. Não foram
encontradas diferenças significativas na percepção de eficácia de líderes femininos e
masculinos pelos seus liderados. Observou-se que o líder feminino adopta um estilo de
liderança transaccional, o que contradiz a literatura. Por último, a eficácia do líder não é uma
variável que possa ser explicada por características próprias dos avaliadores ou mesmo pelo
género do líder. Estes resultados sugerem que a mulher deve ocupar o seu papel não como
líder feminina, mas simplesmente como líder e ser aplaudida pelo seu sucesso.
