| Abstract: |
This study explores the predominant leadership styles of nonprofit executives to determine if gender informs their leadership style choices. The authors analyzed over 4,000 pages of transcribed interviews with 137 nonprofit executives. Nonprofit executives identified their predominant leadership styles with approaches categorized in the "feminine" domain of the gendered leadership framework. Although individual differences in leadership styles were explained in part by gender, leaders were most likely to adopt configurations of styles that blend gendered domains of leadership. The results indicate the nonprofit sector is one where gender is less determinative of leadership styles than in other employment sectors. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
