Abstract The current work examines whether there is a stereotype of CIOs that can influence decisions about their role in organizations. We find evidence for a CIO stereotype informed by both an IT stereotype and a general leader stereotype, although CIOs are perceived to have more in common with IT personnel than leaders. Two experiments showed that the CIO stereotype was capable of biasing perceptions of CIOs’ suitability to occupy strategic roles (i.e., a “glass ceiling” effect) and the extent to which they are blamed for negative outcomes (i.e., a “glass cliff” effect). These findings point to the challenges CIOs face in gaining and maintaining strategic leadership roles in organizations.

CIO刻板印象：内容，偏见和影响

摘要当前的工作研究了是否存在可以影响有关其在组织中角色决策的CIO刻板印象。尽管人们认为CIO与IT人员之间的共同点要多于领导者，但我们发现有证据表明CIO的原型既有IT原型，也有一般领导者的原型。两项实验表明，CIO的刻板印象能够使人们对CIO适合担任战略角色（即“玻璃天花板”效应）及其应归咎于负面结果的程度（即“玻璃悬崖”效应）产生偏见。 ）。这些发现指出了CIO在获得和维持组织中的战略领导角色方面面临的挑战。
