內(nèi)容提要:
Retail investors and analysts are both important market participants. This lecture investigates how CEO gender affects their reactions to corporate performance attributions. Drawing on role congruity theory, recent accounting research suggests that female CEOs and analysts are penalized for behaviors perceived as incongruent with traditional gender roles. This lecture extends prior research by exploring the boundary conditions under which role congruity theory applies, employing two experiments that manipulate Explanation Plausibility (plausible versus implausible) and CEO Gender (male versus female). Experiment 1 reveals that retail investors, who are socially more distant from CEOs, penalize male CEOs more harshly for providing implausible explanations, whereas female CEOs do not face similar penalties. These findings align with double standard theory. Experiment 2 demonstrates that analysts, who are socially more proximate to CEOs, assign higher risk assessments to female CEOs compared to male CEOs even when plausible explanations are offered. These results highlight distinct forms of gender bias among different market participants and provide critical insights into how gender stereotypes shape investment-related judgments. This lecture have significant implications for investors, corporate communication strategies, and market regulators, offering guidance on addressing gender-based biases in financial markets.
散戶投資者和分析師都是重要的市場參與者。本次講座分享的研究主要是首席執(zhí)行官的性別如何影響他們對公司業(yè)績歸因的反應(yīng)。根據(jù)角色一致性理論,最近的會計(jì)研究表明,女性首席執(zhí)行官和分析師會因?yàn)楸徽J(rèn)為與傳統(tǒng)性別角色不一致的行為而受到懲罰。本次講座擴(kuò)展了之前的研究,采用了兩個實(shí)驗(yàn)來操縱解釋可信度(可信與不可信)和首席執(zhí)行官性別(男性與女性),從而探索角色一致性理論適用的邊界條件。實(shí)驗(yàn)1顯示,與首席執(zhí)行官社會關(guān)系更疏遠(yuǎn)的散戶投資者會對提供不可信解釋的男性首席執(zhí)行官進(jìn)行更嚴(yán)厲的懲罰,而女性首席執(zhí)行官則不會面臨類似的懲罰。這些發(fā)現(xiàn)符合雙重標(biāo)準(zhǔn)理論。實(shí)驗(yàn)2表明,與首席執(zhí)行官更親近的分析師對女性首席執(zhí)行官的風(fēng)險評估要高于男性首席執(zhí)行官,即使在提供了可信解釋的情況下也是如此。這些結(jié)果凸顯了不同市場參與者之間不同形式的性別偏見,并提供了關(guān)于性別刻板印象如何影響投資相關(guān)判斷的重要見解。本次講座對投資者、企業(yè)溝通策略和市場監(jiān)管機(jī)構(gòu)具有重要意義,為解決金融市場中的性別偏見提供一些建議。
