A paper by Amanda Cowen and Nicole Votolato Montgomery titled “How Leader Gender Influences External Audience Response to Organizational Failures” has been published in Journal of Applied Psychology and Journal of Personality and Social Psychology. The two found that consumers’ trust in, and willingness to support, an organization after a failure varied based on the gender of the organization’s leader and the nature of the failure. Their research was also featured in an Oct. 24, 2019, UVA Today article titled “‘Adam’ vs. ‘Abigail’: How Consumers View Male and Female CEOs Differently.”
