Zusammenfassung
This study offers a dynamic perspective on the experiences of organizational newcomers who hold the gender token status in their occupation. We aim to analyze, first, whether the effect of newcomers’ gender on temporal changes in negative work events depends on the gender com-position of their occupation and, second, whether these temporal changes, in turn, impact per-formance and withdrawal. Integrating role congruity theory with ego depletion theory within a tokenism framework, we propose that male and female newcomers in occupations dominat-ed by their opposite gender experience an increase in negative work events over time. Draw-ing from prospect theory, we further propose that these increases diminish task mastery and enhance turnover intentions in the long run. By applying an extensive repeated-measures de-sign on 275 individuals over three months, we show that tokenism effects are not the same for women and men, contrary to theoretical expectations. Rather, male tokens do experience an increase in negative work events over time, while female tokens do not. Moreover, we find that newcomers who experienced increased negative work events over time indeed report lower task mastery and higher intentions to leave the job. In conclusion, this study illustrates that an occupation’s gender composition plays an important role in forming employees’ day-to-day experiences at work and effectiveness-related outcomes, but in a deeply gendered way. We discuss possible explanations for the counterintuitive findings and emphasize theoretical, as well as practical implications.
