Abstract
This paper examines gender bias in feedback processes within an organizational framework. The literature review shows that gender bias in feedback is related to internal cognitive biases with a variety of factors affecting the intensity of this phenomenon. In the present study, a manipulation design using a vignette method examines gender bias as a function of female-gender-identification. The findings reveal an association between the type of feedback and the intention to promote oneself in the organization with employee’s gender identification serving as a moderator. The discussion focuses on the importance of raising gender bias awareness as a potential challenge in organizational feedback processes. In addition, it is necessary to regulate feedback procedures so as to reduce biases. The article offers recommendations to organizations with the goal of enabling managers to provide feedback in a manner that both reduces gender bias and advances techniques which will ensure equal opportunities for men and women at work.
