Abstract/Summary

This study aimed to describe the perceptions and assessment of male employees of their women managers. The specific objectives were to determine (1) how male employees characterized a good manager in terms of human, communication, decision-making and time-management skill, (2) their assessment of their woman managers based on these skills, (3) the problems perceived or experienced by these male employees under the supervision of their female superiors, (4) the advantages and disadvantages of having a male or female manager and (5) whether these male employees consider gender as a determining factor of a good manager. The descriptive research design was employed for the study. The convenience sampling method was also used. The researchers came up with 35 respondents and two key informants from a commercial bank. For the data collection, survey questionnaire and interview guide was utilized.

Findings indicate that male employees considered human skills to be the most important attribute of a good manager. The male employees made a relatively high assessment of their women managers in the selected skills (human-relation, communication, decision-making and time-management skills). Findings also showed that both male and female managers have more interpersonal / social advantages than task-related ones. In addition, most of the respondents believe that gender is not a determining factor of a good manager and that talents, skills, and experiences were considered important.
