Percepciones de justicia organizacional y sexismo ambivalente: el rol moderador del individualismo-colectivismo

Abstract

The aim of the present study was to explore the association between perceptions of interpersonal/informational justice and ambivalent sexism among Argentinean employees, and to examine the possible role that collectivism and individualism exert on this association. Participants (128 men and 120 women) completed a battery of instruments to measure the variables of interest. Results showed that perceptions of interpersonal and informational justice were negatively associated with hostile sexism, and that, unexpectedly, perceptions of informational justice were positively associated with benevolent sexism. Vertical collectivism and vertical individualism moderated the relationships between perceptions of interpersonal justice and hostile sexism. Findings are discussed in light of their theoretical and practical implications. Suggestions for future research are provided.

Evaluation of ambivalent sexism in Colombia and validation of the ASI and AMI brief scales

“…The dimensionality and position of the ASI items in this study coincide with previous studies conducted worldwide [ 19 , 35 – 45 , 49 , 55 ]. However, they do not align with studies conducted using the Spanish versions in Peru [ 72 , 73 ] and Argentina [ 46 ] which had identified five factors.…”

“…They have been translated (although not always validated) into French [ 37 ], Portuguese [ 42 ], Italian [ 35 , 41 , 49 ], German [ 38 ], Polish [ 40 ], Hebrew [ 19 , 41 ], Dutch [ 19 ], Korean [ 19 ], Japanese [ 19 ], Norwegian [ 48 ], Turkish [ 45 ], and Spanish [ 39 ], among other languages. In Latin America, they have been widely employed and validated in some countries, given the vital cultural and social component underlying sexism [ 36 , 39 , 43 , 46 , 47 ]. Therefore, the initially proposed two-dimensionality did not always fits.…”

“…Both the ASI and AMI have short versions, which have demonstrated good psychometric properties and are consistent with the original dimensionality of the scales [35]. Reliability ranges between .72 and .90 for ASI [19,[36][37][38][39][40][41][42][43][44][45][46] and between .67 and .85 for AMI [35,47,48]. AMI has received less psychometric attention.…”

Development and validation of the Benevolent Sexism in the Workplace scale

“…Therefore, researchers who study ambivalent sexism at work and use the ASI as their primary method of measuring benevolent sexism may not be measuring what they intend to measure; in reality, they may be capturing benevolent sexism as it relates to home life as opposed to work life. This may even be why certain studies have failed to find a link between benevolent sexism and work-relevant outcomes for women (Masser & Abrams, 2004;Ohse & Stockdale, 2008;Vaadmonde & Omar, 2017).…”

Igualdad y creencias discriminatorias

“…la tercera se refiere a la dependencia relacional entre hombres (grupo dominante) y mujeres (grupo subordinado) para la reproducción sexual. Dichas condiciones son el punto de partida de una teoría que trata de explicar el sexismo como un fenómeno que evoluciona y que puede ser difícil de reconocer y detectar, lo cual implica también una dificultad añadida a la hora de erradicarlo (Vaamonde & Omar, 2017).…”
