组织中的“蜂后”：事实还是想象？——基于第三期中国妇女社会地位调查数据的实证研究
Queen Bee in Organization: Truth or Myth?—An Empirical Research Based on the Third Wave Survey on the Social Status of Women in China

研究利用第三期中国妇女社会地位调查数据，从组织层面和个人层面，对“蜂后”假设即女领导比男领导更不利于女下属职业发展的观点进行了检验。研究发现：从组织层面来看，相对于单位一把手是男性的情况，在单位一把手是女性时，单位性别歧视现象会显著减少；从个人层面来看，对于女性受访者而言，单位一把手是女性时，她们认为自己在工作中得不到晋升的情况并不比单位一把手是男性时严重。这些发现驳斥了认为女领导多为“蜂后”的流行观念，对在政策设计中增加女领导的合理性提供了经验支持，也为女性职业发展提供了策略选择。
：Queen Bee Syndrome, which hypothesizes that compared to male top leaders, female top leaders are bigger obstacles to their female subordinates’ career development, and also much more severe. The Third Wave Survey on the Social Status of Women in China provides us a chance to prove or disprove this hypothesis from both organizational and individual levels. At organizational level, we find that there are less gender discriminations in organizations with female top leaders than those with male top leaders. At individual level, compared with those who are under male top leaders, female subordinates under female top leaders do not feel more pessimistic about their chances of promotion. These findings disprove the prevalent idea that female top leaders are necessarily Queen Bees, thus providing empirical evidence to support policies aiming to increase the number of female top leaders
