Abstract
This article examines biological gender and gender-role identity effects on self-perceived leadership among 371 future managers, and compares cultural differences linked to Hofstede’s masculine versus feminine countries of origin. The results showed no significant differences in leadership between males and females. For males, masculinity and femininity both correlate with leadership. This is not the case for females. In masculine-cultured countries, masculinity is significantly higher for males, and the results showed a significant correlation between masculinity and leadership. Conversely, in feminine-cultured countries, femininity is higher for females, with a significant correlation between femininity and leadership. Implications of our results are discussed.

Résumé
Cet article examine les effets du sexe et du genre sur le leadership, auprès de 371 futurs managers. Il n’y a pas de différence significative de leadership entre les hommes et les femmes. Pour les hommes mais pas pour les femmes, la masculinité et la féminité sont corrélées au leadership. Dans les pays masculins, la masculinité est plus élevée chez les hommes avec une corrélation significative entre la masculinité et le leadership. À l’inverse, dans les pays féminins, la féminité est plus élevée chez les femmes avec une corrélation significative entre féminité et leadership. Les implications des résultats sont discutées.

Resumen
Este artículo examina el efecto de las diferencias de sexo y de género en el liderazgo autopercibido entre 371 futuros gerentes. Los resultados no revelaron diferencias significativas de liderazgo entre hombres y mujeres. Para los hombres, pero no para las mujeres, la masculinidad y la feminidad se correlacionan con el liderazgo. En los países masculinos, la masculinidad fue significativamente mayor en los hombres y los resultados mostraron una correlación significativa entre la masculinidad y el liderazgo. En los países femeninos, la feminidad fue mayor en las mujeres y se encontró una correlación significativa entre feminidad y liderazgo. Los resultados se discuten.
