- Forskningsfråga: Hur manifesteras könsstereotyper i kvinnliga ekonomiansvarigas risktänk?
Syfte: Syftet med studien är att undersöka hur könsstereotyper manifesteras i kvinnliga ekonomiansvarigas risktänk, både i privatlivet och i yrkeslivet. Studien syftar till att bidra till en djupare förståelse av hur könsrelaterade normer och förväntningar kan påverka ekonomiskt beslutsfattande.
Metod: Studien använder en kvalitativ metod, baserad på semistrukturerade intervjuer med kvinnliga ekonomiansvariga. Datan analyserades tematiskt för att identifiera mönster och variationer i respondenternas risktänk och könsstereotypernas påverkan. Studien bygger på en abduktiv ansats och analysen följer den hermeneutiska cirkeln.

Metod: Studien använder en kvalitativ metod, baserad på semistrukturerade intervjuer med kvinnliga ekonomiansvariga. Datan analyserades tematiskt för att identifiera mönster och variationer i respondenternas risktänk och könsstereotypernas påverkan. Studien bygger på en abduktiv ansats och analysen följer den hermeneutiska cirkeln.
Teoretiska perspektiv: Studien bygger på Social Role Theory och Risk and Sociocultural Theory. Social Role Theory används för att analysera hur könsstereotyper uppstår och påverkar individer, medan Risk and Sociocultural Theory kompletterar genom att belysa risk som en social konstruktion.
Resultat: Analysen visar att könsstereotyper delvis påverkar kvinnliga ekonomiansvarigas risktänk. Respondenterna uppvisar en större grad av försiktighet i yrkeslivet, men visar en större variation i privatlivet. Företagsregler och policys minskar deras exponering för risk samtidigt som sociala och kulturella normer kan forma deras förhållningssätt. Stereotyper om kvinnors försiktighet återspeglas, men det finns också exempel på motstridiga beteenden.
Slutsats: Studien visar att könsstereotyper påverkar kvinnliga ekonomiansvarigas riskhantering till viss del, men att deras personliga erfarenheter och sociala sammanhang också spelar en betydande roll. Studien bidrar till forskningen genom att kombinera kvalitativ metod med teori för att ge en mer nyanserad bild av hur könsstereotyper påverkar risk och beslutsfattande. (Less) - Abstract
- Research question: How are gender stereotypes manifested in the risk perception of female financial managers?
Purpose: The purpose of this study is to examine how gender stereotypes are manifested in the risk perception of female financial managers, both in their private and professional lives. The study aims to contribute to a deeper understanding of how gender-related norms and expectations can influence economic decision-making.

The data were analysed thematically to identify patterns and variations in the respondents’ risk perception and the influence of gender stereotypes. The study is based on an abductive approach,...

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to examine how gender stereotypes are manifested in the risk perception of female financial managers, both in their private and professional lives. The study aims to contribute to a deeper understanding of how gender-related norms and expectations can influence economic decision-making.
Methodology: This study uses a qualitative method based on semi-structured interviews with female financial managers. The data were analysed thematically to identify patterns and variations in the respondents’ risk perception and the influence of gender stereotypes. The study is based on an abductive approach, and the analysis follows the hermeneutic circle.
Theoretical perspectives: The study is based on Social Role Theory and Risk and Sociocultural Theory. Social Role Theory is used to analyse how gender stereotypes emerge and influence individuals, while Risk and Sociocultural Theory complements this by highlighting risk as a social construction.
Result: The analysis shows that gender stereotypes partially influence the risk perception of female financial managers. The respondents demonstrate a higher degree of caution in their professional lives but demonstrate greater variation in their private lives. Corporate policies and regulations reduce their exposure to risk, while social and cultural norms can shape their attitudes. Stereotypes about women’s caution are reflected in their behavior, but there are also examples of contradictory actions.
Conclusions: The study concludes that gender stereotypes influence female financial managers’ risk management to some extent, but their personal experiences and social contexts also play a significant role. By combining a qualitative method with theory, the study contributes to research by providing a more nuanced understanding of how gender stereotypes impact risk perception and decision-making. (Less)
