This document presents a research on leader gender stereotypes and transformational leadership: Does leader sex make the difference? This research aims to understand how leaders’ self-perception of their gender role identity, described as agentic or communal, influences their followers’ perception of transformational leadership. The results of multilevel structural equation modeling suggest that female leaders who self-describe as highly communal are perceived by followers as more transformational than male leaders. Contrary to hypothesis, the results reveal an unexpected positive relationship between women’s agentic attributes and follower perceptions of transformational leadership. The findings develop role congruity theory by demonstrating the influence of gendered stereotypes not only for female but also male leaders.

This paper attempts to review and analyse the past literature on gender differences, similarities and perceptions in relation to the leadership styles and to examine under what circumstances men and women differ.

This document presents a thesis presented for examination for the PhD degree of the London School of Economics and Political Science. It explores ethnographically how clandestine migration has been constituted as a field of intervention and knowledge-gathering since this time. In this field, it is argued, the roles of policing, caring for and informing on migrants intermingle while producing shared models, materialities and classifications that impinge upon the travellers labelled “illegal”. Drawing on the dynamic nominalism of Ian Hacking, the actor-network theory of Bruno Latour and a growing body of critical migration and border studies, the thesis explores the interfaces where specific modalities of migrant illegality are produced. The exploration of these interfaces – in deportation, surveillance, patrolling, rescues, reception and activism – relies on an extended field site, with research carried out in Senegal, Mali, Morocco, southern Spain and European policing headquarters. Throughout, the thesis highlights not just the workings of the migration industry but this industry’s excesses and absurdities, which make the business of bordering Europe a fraught and contradictory enterprise.
