Resumen
This study examines the relationship between female representation in different organisa tional positions and performance using a sample of Spanish secondary schools. These
organizations have been usually depicted as ‘feminised environments’ although women in
managerial positions are still underrepresented. Based on different theoretical approaches,
we separately investigate the relationship between a greater female presence and school
performance in three positions: a) as principal; b) on the management team; and c) as
teachers. We also investigate if having a female leader exerts a significant mediator role on
the relationship between greater female representation on the management team and
teachers, respectively, and school performance. Our results reveal a positive and significant
relationship between having a woman principal or a greater proportion of women teachers
and school performance. However, the relationship between a high proportion of women on
the management team and school performance is negative. We also find that a female prin cipal does not play a significant role as mediator in the relationship between having a greater
proportion of women on the management team and as teachers and school performance.
