MORE CLASS IN MANAGEMENT RESEARCH - YANICK KEMA...

Yanick Kemayou investigates how the socioeconomicbackground of organizational leaders can
explain their management-relevantattitudes. The study provides theory development and first
empirical tests of theimpact of leaders' socioeconomic background on their risk propensity 
sense of controland justice perceptions. The model integrates sociological and
socialpsychological research on class dynamics and attitudes.Yanick Kemayou uses
cross-sectional data from the German Socioeconomic Panel totest the model. The empirical
analyses provide robust support for thetheoretical ideas. Results show  for instance  that
reproduced leaders with alower social distance toward broader classes exhibit more favorable
justiceperceptions toward groups such as unskilled workers than distant reproduced leaders.The
bottom line for organizations is that leaders are likely to assesssituations and persons
differently because of their own socioeconomicbackground.
