The paper is devoted to gender wage diff erences; it especially focuses on the impact of the gender characteristics of the manager on gender wage disparity. Under the social identity theory, women in managerial positions, that can aff ect the wage of their subordinates, are likely to evaluate female employees better than male employees. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the eff ect of the gender characteristics of middle managers on the wages of directly subordinated rank-and-fi le employees using a variation within the fi rm. We have used two methods to consider the eff ect of the manager gender characteristics on subordinates: the estimation of the wage function and the average treatment eff ect on the treated, both supplemented by a matching procedure. We concluded that women in middle management in comparison to their male counterparts have a lower tendency to apply wage discrimination against women. The presence of a female head of department led to a decrease in the gender pay gap by almost 7 percentage points.
