Resumo


A discriminação contra as mulheres é generalizada nas sociedades contemporâneas, e a persistente disparidade salarial para funções idênticas em comparação aos homens sugere que esse viés é socialmente justificado. Abordamos essa questão propondo que os indivíduos evocam estereótipos de gênero de uma maneira que reforça sua tendência a reafirmar as diferenças salariais de gênero. Em dois estudos, analisamos como o mero ato de evocar justificações para contratar alguém produz a disparidade salarial de gênero e se as justificativas baseadas em estereótipos medeiam esse efeito. No Estudo 1 (N = 95), manipulamos o gênero de um candidato a uma posição de trabalho e identificamos que o simples ato de justificar a contratação influencia a disparidade salarial de gênero. No Estudo 2 (N = 302), os participantes evocaram mais estereótipos de competência para um candidato a emprego do sexo masculino, e essa evocação mediou a disparidade salarial de gênero. Discutimos o papel da justificativa baseada em estereótipos na disparidade de gênero em decisões críticas dentro de contextos relacionados ao trabalho. Esses achados possuem implicações importantes para a compreensão da discriminação contra mulheres no local de trabalho e para o desenvolvimento de políticas públicas voltadas à promoção da igualdade de gênero.
