Abstract

This study examines the difference between men and women managers concerning their managerial behavior. The managerial styles of male and female department heads were compared in this quantitative study. To fulfill the intended goals of the study, a survey was carried out. The 262 participants of both genders and 131 department heads—25 of whom were female and 106 of whom were male- provided the data. The information was gathered using questionnaires on a five-point Likert scale. The collected data were analyzed by applying descriptive and inferential statistics. The findings of the study showed that both men and women managers behave in the same way they do not differ in their general perceptions as a manager and no significant difference was found in their managerial behavior. Women, as compared to men, were less in number in top management positions. It is therefore recommended that the government allow managers, both male and female, to have equal possibilities to become top managers.
