Masculinity at the negotiation table: A theory of men’s negotiation behaviors and outcomes.
Mazei, J., Zerres, A., & Hüffmeier, J. (2021). Masculinity at the negotiation table: A theory of men’s negotiation behaviors and outcomes. Academy of Management Review, 46(1), 108–127. https://doi.org/10.5465/amr.2017.0570
Many men are famous, perhaps even infamous, for their heightened assertiveness in negotiations and other kinds of social interactions. Examples include Jeff Bezos, the influential American businessperson Carl Icahn, and, who would have guessed it, President Donald J. Trump. In this article, we build on past insights from multiple scientific disciplines to propose a theoretical model that explains men’s emotional experience, behaviors, and outcomes in occupational negotiations. Following extant work, one central notion is that men aim to negotiate assertively and successfully in an attempt to show others, and maybe themselves, how “masculine” and “high-status” they are.
Strategies aimed at reducing gender differences in negotiation are perceived by women as ineffective.

A widespread notion is that women may earn less than men because they negotiate their pay less assertively. Make no mistake: The issue is not that women are simply less capable of negotiating assertively. Rather, research has clearly shown that women as compared to men are perceived more negatively if they do so, and these negative perceptions can result in serious drawbacks at work that women rightly aim to avoid. To address this problem, past research has come up with promising strategies that women could use in negotiations. Yet, in our study, we observed that these strategies have characteristics that can let them appear ineffective (although they might actually be effective). As a result, these strategies can end up not being used. Thus, our study suggests that research will need to come up with novel and fresh ideas of how to address the disadvantages that women face in negotiations, so that gender equality is ultimately achieved.

Anfahrt & Lageplan
Der Campus der Technischen Universität Dortmund liegt in der Nähe des Autobahnkreuzes Dortmund West, wo die Sauerlandlinie A45 den Ruhrschnellweg B1/A40 kreuzt. Die Abfahrt Dortmund-Eichlinghofen auf der A45 führt zum Campus Süd, die Abfahrt Dortmund-Dorstfeld auf der A40 zum Campus-Nord. An beiden Ausfahrten ist die Universität ausgeschildert.
Direkt auf dem Campus Nord befindet sich die S-Bahn-Station „Dortmund Universität“. Von dort fährt die S-Bahn-Linie S1 im 20- oder 30-Minuten-Takt zum Hauptbahnhof Dortmund und in der Gegenrichtung zum Hauptbahnhof Düsseldorf über Bochum, Essen und Duisburg. Außerdem ist die Universität mit den Buslinien 445, 447 und 462 zu erreichen. Eine Fahrplanauskunft findet sich auf der Homepage des Verkehrsverbundes Rhein-Ruhr, außerdem bieten die DSW21 einen interaktiven Liniennetzplan an.
Zu den Wahrzeichen der TU Dortmund gehört die H-Bahn. Linie 1 verkehrt im 10-Minuten-Takt zwischen Dortmund Eichlinghofen und dem Technologiezentrum über Campus Süd und Dortmund Universität S, Linie 2 pendelt im 5-Minuten-Takt zwischen Campus Nord und Campus Süd. Diese Strecke legt sie in zwei Minuten zurück.
Vom Flughafen Dortmund aus gelangt man mit dem AirportExpress innerhalb von gut 20 Minuten zum Dortmunder Hauptbahnhof und von dort mit der S-Bahn zur Universität. Ein größeres Angebot an internationalen Flugverbindungen bietet der etwa 60 Kilometer entfernte Flughafen Düsseldorf, der direkt mit der S-Bahn vom Bahnhof der Universität zu erreichen ist.
