Inhalt: Frauen finden heute auf dem Arbeitsmarkt scheinbar optimale Ausgangsbedingungen. Sie genießen zahlreiche Förderprogramme und Gleichstellungsmaßnahmen, gleichzeitig wird verstärkt ein "weiblicher Führungsstil" nachgefragt. Vor diesem Hintergrund wird häufig angezweifelt, dass es Diskriminierungsprozesse sind, die Frauen vom Übergang in die Führungsebenen abhalten. Sozialpsychologische Studien zeigen allerdings, dass Diskriminierungsprozesse unbewusst stattfinden und somit auch unabhängig von der Befürwortung von Gleichstellung und Chancengleichheit auftreten können. Dies soll anhand einer Zusammenstellung einiger sozialpsychologischer Effekte verdeutlicht werden. Für die Praxis der Gleichstellungsmaßnahmen und -politik liefern diese Erkenntnisse wertvolle Implikationen und eine kritische Perspektive auf diejenigen Strategien, die die Nutzung geschlechtsspezifischer Eigenschaften fokussieren.
