Abstract The main purpose of this study was to discuss the styles and characteristics of female managers’ leadership. Furthermore, the author explored the styles and characteristics of female leaders by obtaining her colleagues’ and subordinates’ points of view. In order to accomplish this, the author used the survey research method and the instrument entitled “The Styles and Characteristics of Female Managers’ Leadership.” There are two parts, A and B, of the survey corresponding to the different targets of study, the female manager and her colleagues and subordinates, respectively. The response data were analyzed by using factor analyses, one-way ANOVA …etc. According to the results of the surveys and the data analyses, the conclusions of the study are as following: I. According to the factor analyses, the styles and characteristics of female managers’ leadership is constituted of sixteen aspects: “Attempt on Job,” “Gentle and Flexible Management,” “Primacy of Job,” “Circumspection and Calm,” “Interaction,” “Coordinate Ability,” “Computerized Ability,” “Self-Learning,” “Socialized Ability,” “Intention and Connotation,” “Work Attitude,” “Challenge Facing,” “Courage of Trying,” “Self-Request,” “Aggressive Leadership,” and “Indomitable.” II. Only female managers with different “age,” “educational background,” “the ranking of sibling,” “category of industry,” and “working experience” had significant differences in their style and characteristic of leadership. Most female managers with the rest of background factors had a similar style and characteristic of leadership. III. In colleagues’ and subordinates’ view, the styles and characteristics of female managers’ leadership is constituted of seven aspects: “Joyful Working Environment,” “Seeking Truth from Facts,” “Management of Emotion,” “Progressive,” “Resource Sharing,” “Sacrifice,” and “Interaction and Encouragement.” IV. The view of colleagues and subordinates with different working experiences had significant differences in the styles and characteristics of female managers’ leadership. The colleagues and subordinates with the rest of background factors had a similar view of the styles and characteristics of female managers’ leadership. A picture of female leadership is created from the surveys, from deeply interviewing five high-level female managers, and from closely contacting, understanding, and perceiving with the styles and characteristics of female managers. The recommendations for further research are based on the findings and the conclusions of this study.
