摘要:本文基于2011—2021 年A股上市公司的企业微观数据,探讨了企业数智化进程对女性领导任用的影响及作用机制。研究结果表明:(1)企业数智化进程对女性领导任用起抑制作用。(2)这种作用主要来源于职业发展中的“不公正”导致的性别数字鸿沟。女性在早期职业发展中更少地从事研发和技术岗位,导致其数字技能和技术背景的缺乏,进而造成了在企业数智化情境下领导选拔任用的劣势。(3)对女性和领导角色认知冲突导致的“偏见”并不是导致女性领导任用机会减少的直接原因;数字技术带来的性别差异的消弭以及女性性别技能优势并没有起到提升企业女性领导比例的作用。研究结论揭示了数字智能化进程中男性与女性领导任用差异的原因,为推动男女领导力平权提供了重要启示。

Summary: Based on the micro data of A-share listed companies from 2011 to 2021, this paper explores the impact of digital intelligence on female leadership appointment and its mechanism. The results indicate that: (1) The process of digital intelligence in enterprises exerts an inhibitory effect on female leadership appointment. (2) This effect mainly stems from the gender digital divide caused by “injustice” in career development. Women are less likely to engage in R&D and technical positions in early career development, resulting in a lack of digital skills and technical background, which in turn leads to a disadvantage in leadership selection and appointment in the context of digital intelligence. (3) The “bias” against female leadership arising from incongruities between traditional gender expectations and leadership roles is not the direct reason for the decrease in opportunities for female leadership appointment; the elimination of gender differences brought about by digital technology and the advantage of female gender skills do not play a role in increasing the proportion of female leaders in enterprises. The conclusions reveal the reasons for the differences in the appointment of male and female leaders in the process of digital intelligence, providing important insights for promoting gender equality in leadership.
