Item type:Publication, More Motivated to Help Male Leaders? Explaining Fatherhood Bonuses via Follower Helping(2026-02-11); ; Claudia PeusFamily amplifies gender biases in organizations, presenting an ethical dilemma for modern organizations. Specifically, women tend to face additional barriers to leadership when they become mothers, while men often experience the opposite. But what about leaders’ family explains these fatherhood bonuses? Focusing on work-family conflict (WFC), we theorize that this ostensibly negative state paradoxically motivates followers because it signals an opportunity to expend extra effort to help their leaders. We further theorize this helping process is stronger for male (vs. female) leaders because WFC is a more noticeable violation of gendered stereotypes, which followers respond to with motivation to help their (male) leaders to resolve cognitive dissonance. A multi-source field study of leader–follower dyads (Ntotal = 290) supported our theorizing, which we causally replicated and extended with a pair of pre-registered behavioral and recall experiments (Ntotal = 920). These results inform theory and practice of gender inequalities while also revealing new mechanisms that explain behavioral fatherhood bonuses.Type:journal articleJournal:Journal of Business EthicsScopus© Citations 2 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings

Item type:Publication, A playful path to more professional equity? Networking across diversity via sport(2024-08); ; ; ; Leaders develop via all domains of their lives. Yet, leaders’ sports involvement has been largely overlooked despite its theoretical and practical relevance, particularly for social development. Moreover, the limited research on the downstream social consequences of leaders’ sports involvement reveals different effects for men and women leaders—even opposing effects for the latter. Thus, we integrate social cognitive theory from developmental psychology to make sense of these contradictory findings. We theorize that sports contexts facilitate women’s networking with higher-status (male) leaders through its playfulness (i.e., leisurely, spontaneous, and socially interactive). An archival study of 644 leaders’ Twitter/X posts shows that sports generate more engagement—especially men interacting with women leaders’ sports posts (Study 1). A qualitative study with 58 leaders suggests sports’ playfulness facilitates these interactions as well as networking, results that we also quantitatively validated using ChatGPT (Study 2). Two recall experiments (Ntotal = 1,076) showed women leaders’ networking in sports (vs. traditional) contexts was more playful, and more playful sports contexts facilitated women (vs. men) leaders’ networking across gender and status differences (Pilot Study, Study 3). Our results show that more playful sports contexts facilitate women leaders’ successful networking across gender and status diversity—an innovation helping to level the playing field of gendered social capital development and future leadership inequalities in organizations. These results advance our understanding of conventional ways of networking as not always strategic and planned while also adding to diversity research by showing that sports—often framed as exclusionary—can also be inclusive.Type:conference paper - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings

Item type:Publication, Leaders under threat? Leader identity threat as response to followers with prototypical leadership attributes.(2023-06-01); Karolina W. NieberleThis research aims to inform the theoretical understanding of leader identity threat in leader-follower relationships. Specifically, we investigate a follower’s (in-)congruence to their leaders’ implicit leadership theories (ILTs; i.e., expectations about prototypical leader attributes) as a driver for leaders’ experience of leader identity threat.Type:conference poster
