And Gender

Willingness to compete has been found to predict individual and gender differences in educational choices and labor market outcomes. We provide further evidence for this relationship by linking Swiss students' Baccalaureate school (high school) specialization choices to an experimental measure of willingness to compete. Boys are more likely to specialize in math in Baccalaureate school. In line with previous findings, competitive students are more likely to choose a math specialization. Boys are more likely to opt for competition than girls and this gender difference in competitiveness could partially explain why girls are less likely to choose a math-intensive specialization.

Willingness To Compete

We report on two experiments investigating whether there is a gender difference in the willingness to compete against oneself (self-competition), similar to what is found when competing against others (other-competition). In one laboratory and one online market experiment, involving a total of 1,200 participants, we replicate the gender-gap in willingness to other-compete but find no evidence of a gender difference in the willingness to self-compete. We explore the roles of risk and confidence and suggest that these factors can account for the different findings. Finally, we document that self-competition does no worse than other-competition in terms of performance boosting.

The performance of the apparatus in carrying out government duties is expected to be carried out seriously by having a willingness to compete giving the best in order to achieve the stated goals. The function of guidance and direction of a sub-district head is reflected in the leadership style that is applied to the administration of government, development and community empowerment. The results of the study show that the Cooperation dimension, the dimension of listening and receiving suggestions / inputs and the dimensions of encouraging decision-making, are more dominantly applied by the sub-district head, which is the dimension of the participatif leadership style. Keyword: Style of leadership, governance, sub-district head, decision making
