The literature of leadership research has emphasized the importance of gender issue not only from an academic perspective but also from practical viewpoint. However, the literature seems unclear about many gender-related leadership conceptualizations. This study reviews theoretical and empirical research in organizational behavior, and aims to draw clear a view of the current state of research regarding gender issues in leadership research. Our understanding of the conceptual difference of biological sex and sociological gender of women and men led us to focus on sex- and gender-related differences in leadership, especially in leadership effectiveness. Our review indicates that most of the differences displayed by women- and men-leaders are attributable to their gender- role socialization, rather than their biological sex. It is also found that men-leadership is more effective in general, though the relationship is not very consistent and could be moderated by various factors such as nature of task, composition of the work group, and support from family. Our findings imply that gender differences in leadership are primarily based on socially constructed reality, which suggests future studies on gender issues in leadership to consider masculinity, femininity, and androgyny as major factors that have influence on leadership effectiveness differences.
