Abstract

Today’s organizations require more than just technically qualified and intelligent employees to manage the highly complex as well as competitive business environment. Of late, considerable attention is being given to certain personality dimensions or individual difference variables which are found to affect organizational outcomes. Androgyny and rational emotive behaviour are two such variables which have implications for managerial performance. This article presents the results of an empirical study undertaken to see the relationships of the two individual difference variables, namely, androgyny and rational emotive behaviour, with perceived managerial effectiveness. The sample for the study consisted of 305 managers from diverse industries in the public and private sectors. Results based on statistical analyses showed rational emotive behaviour and managerial effectiveness to be higher among the androgynous employees. Both androgyny and rational emotive behaviour were found to be positively related to managerial effectiveness. Further, rational emotive behaviour was found to moderate the relationship between androgyny and managerial effectiveness. Implications of these findings are discussed in the article.
