Reality Television and the Influence of Gender on Decision Behavior in Business Situations: A Study on Gender Influence on Decision Behavior in The Apprentice with Donald Trump | Chapter 05 | Emerging Issues and Development in Economics and Trade Vol. 2

The Apprentice with Donald Trump has become one of the most popular reality television shows. It is based on business and management situations. Business schools around the country have used The Apprentice as a teaching tool for case studies in classrooms. The purpose of this study was to investigate the influence of gender and its role in termination decisions. This research is the result of a four-year study on management decisions on termination in Donald Trump’s The Apprentice. This crosstab analysis was conducted with three independent focus groups using The Apprentice.

The participants viewed various episodes of The Apprentice and were administered a survey based on their observations and decisions. There were three key findings from the study. First, the findings of the study indicate there were some significant gender differences with firing individuals based on viewing the reality television show. Second, the findings indicate gender is a strong predictor variable in termination decisions. Last, in addition, between males and females, male participants’ mean and standard deviation coefficients were higher. The conclusions of the study indicate that management researchers and practitioners should, however, carefully evaluate gender and its influence on management decisions in business decisions.

What is gender? Part 5: Gender as behavior

The conversation on gender expression.

In the last post I talked about gender groupings and how one is perceived/treated as a gendered individual. The gender one is perceived as is largely determined by two factors: secondary sexual characteristics, and gender…

Once children have labeled themselves as female or male, and recognize this as stable over time and situations, they are motivated to seek out gender-appropriate behaviors

Coltrane focuses his article on how parents construct gender behavior through the division of labor. Throughout the article we get insight to the conditions of shared parenting and the responsibilities each parent has. One father said, “She would nurse them but I would bring them back to bed afterward and change them if necessary, and get them back to sleep… I really initiated those other kinds of care aspects so that I could be involved” (205). We see that both parents share the duties of caring for their children equally. Most of the families that were interviewed expressed that both father and mother shared the roles. They both did the same duties and contributed to raising their children. Most fathers talked about their interest in being a part of their children’s lives by doing ‘motherly duties’ like waking up in the middle of night to attend their babies. Some families talked about their flexibility around the house so whoever was able to do a task first would do it and then the other person would help doing other things. Coltrane mentions, “Nevertheless, almost all parents indicated that no one should be forced to perform a specific task because they were a man or a woman. This implicit equity ideal was evidenced by mothers and fathers using time availability, rather than gender, to assign most household tasks” (208). I think it’s important to realize that home duties and parenting should not be something that is gendered it should be a mutual caring and duty. Many of the couples mentioned that their divisions of labor were fair. The mention of increased sensitivity for the fathers occurred through childrearing, they started to adopt motives and feelings similar to the mothers’. One of the fathers mentioned, "It's at that moment that I'm maybe closest to understanding what my mother and other women of my mother's generation, and other women now, have felt about being housewives and being at home, being themselves. I think I emotionally understand the satisfaction and the gratification of being a homemaker" (214). I like that after being a father that takes care of his home he began to understand women's duties throughout many generations. He understood that being a homemaker is not a easy task and should be respected.
