İş Arenasında Kadın Yöneticilerin Algılanması ve "Kraliçe Arı Sendromu"

1970'lerin başından itibaren iş arenasındaki kadın yöneticilerin sayısı artmaktadır. Bu artışla beraber, kadın yöneticilerin erkek yöneticiler ile kıyaslanarak farklı oldukları konular üzerinde birçok araştırma yapılmaktadır. Makalede, ABD'de 123 kadın yönetici üzerinde yapılan bir araştırmanın bulgularına yer verilmektedir. Araştırmanın bir amacı da, "kraliçe arı sendromu"nun varlığını araştırmaktır. Kraliçe arı sendromu, şu üç özellikten oluşmaktadır; 1. Erkek tutumlarını benimseyerek kadınlara karşı kullanmak, 2. Diğer kadınların rekabetini bertaraf etmeye çalışmak, 3. Ayırımla ilgili belirtileri görmemezlikten gelmek. Kraliçe arı sendromu olarak tanımlanan niteliklere uyan kadınlara göre, "oyunun bazı kuralları" değişmeli ve kadınların bugün geldikleri pozisyondan geri adım atılmamalıdır. Onlara göre, başarısız kadınlar, suçu kendilerinde aramalı, ayrıcalıklı muameleye karşı çıkmalı, ayırımı ortadam kaldırmak için bireysel olarak gayret gösterilmelidir.

How the Women Managers are Perceived in Working Life and, the "queen Bee Syndrome"

It is observed that, the numbers of women managers continuously increase in working life since 1970's. By considering the new phenomena so many researches have been conducted especially on the issues that differs the women managers from the men managers into a comparison. So in this article, the author emphasized the findings of a research conducted by Karen McLandress in 1991 about the 123 women managers and secondly, he (the author) aimed to look for whether or not there is a reality for the "Queen Bee Syndrome". According to the article, Queen Bee ,Syndrome is composed of the three characteristics: 1- to employ some males attitudes and use them against also the other women. 2- trying to overcome the competition created by her fellows. 3- indifference to the discriminatory messages. Additionally or in parallel with the features, the article shows us the examples of the Queen Bee Syndrom thought that "some rules of the game must be changed" and today's position of the women should be kept without taking any backward step. Unsuccessful women must seek the reason in themselves, they must react against the discriminatory treats and must spend efforts to remove the discrimination individually.
