the role of gender in leadership style, stereotypes and aptitude for command in public relations

"Dr. Geyer-Semple’s contribution to this issue uses scholarly literature grounded in organizational communication theory, feminist perspectives and gender theory on the public relations industry to provide a theoretical framework for primary research conducted on both undergraduate public relations majors and public relations practitioners. Results from primary research (interviews with undergraduate students and a survey administered to public relations practitioners) reveal parallels and disconnects between student expectations and professional realities of the role gender plays in the public relations discipline. In an attempt to help foster diversity and reduce gendered stereotypes within undergraduate public relations programs and the public relations industry fresh, pedagogical recommendations are explored."
