In this article, an explanation of the stereotype of gender (indicating what women and men are) and the influence on the workplace (specifying what women and men should be) by designating a fixed idea of ​​gender and women Focus on the influence on career formation. The central argument is that gender stereotypes can create biased decisions and decisions that impede women's progress. In this paper I think that there is a performance bad between the difference between women and the attributes required for the position and role of male sex to function well, resulting in a negative impact on the performance. In addition, Regulating gender stereotypes by establishing canonical behavioral standards that could lead to disapproval due to direct breach and social punishment or by inferring violations due to women's success is a gender bias I will also explain how to promote.

Gender stereotypes are closely related to the development of early childhood gender identity. In this section, we will first describe the stereotype definition, distinguish between stereotype types, then explain the contents of those stereotypes. Next, I will discuss the development of stereotypes. Finally, we discuss the possible precedents of sexual ideas. Here we define stereotypes as a series of beliefs about group characteristics and attributes (Judd & Park, 1993). These beliefs distinguish specific groups from other groups by explaining the differences between the groups. The stereotype of gender is a belief about the characteristics and attributes of men, women, boys, and girls. Especially at school, almost all children find gender stereotypes regardless of family attitudes and values, as most children are exposed to gender-related information by interaction with mass media and peers (Maccoby, 2002; Martin & Fabes, 2001). )
