Resumen

Según el género (hombre o mujer) se ejercen diferentes estilos de liderazgo. Por un lado, las mujeres han sido catalogadas más transformacionales que los hombres, que se consideran, por el contrario, más transaccionales. En este sentido, este estudio identifica el estilo de liderazgo promovido según el género
de los gerentes en las pymes de Cali del sector manufacturero y de alta tecnología. Para este fin, se aplicó el cuestionario multifactorial de liderazgo (MLQ) a una muestra probabilística de 142 gerentes. Los resultados muestran que el estilo predominante en las pymes es el transformacional, tanto en hombres como en mujeres, es decir, que no difieren en su estilo de liderazgo de manera significativa. Esta investigación contribuye a un nuevo contexto según el cual el estilo de liderazgo no varía de acuerdo con el género y plantea la idea de que hombres y mujeres pueden dirigir de manera similar.
