This study investigates leadership ambition and focuses this with a simple, yet necessary perspective, the focus of race/ethnicity and gender. Many public organizations may not consider how gendered and racialized aspects of organizations can influence leadership ambition for diverse individuals. We ask: (a) How is gender and race/ethnicity related to leadership ambition? and (b) Are social networks related to leadership ambition based on gender and racial/ethnic differences? Using a 2011 national survey of STEM faculty in U.S. research-based universities, we find significant leadership ambition differences for people of color and that social networks are beneficial for women’s leadership ambition.

领导野心：公共组织中领导代表性的性别和种族差异


这项研究调查了领导力抱负，并以简单但必要的视角（种族/民族和性别）来关注这一点。许多公共组织可能没有考虑组织的性别和种族方面如何影响不同个人的领导抱负。我们问：(a) 性别和种族/民族与领导抱负有何关系？ (b) 社交网络是否与基于性别和种族/民族差异的领导野心相关？通过 2011 年对美国研究型大学 STEM 教师的全国调查，我们发现有色人种的领导力抱负存在显着差异，并且社交网络有利于女性的领导力抱负。
