| Abstract (English): | Drawing on the expectation state theory, this paper seeks to analyse the social cognitive process of the impacts of gender stereotypes along with their culturally derived schemas of status belief, status characteristics and emotion at the early stage of women's endeavour to emerge as leaders in academia. Employing a convenience sampling and interviews held with five women academic participants from three public and private universities in the western region of Indonesia, this research reveals that two social cognitive practices affect women's endeavour to emerge as leaders; (1) the incongruities of cultural and cognitive expected status belief and status characteristics about females with the expected performance of leadership. The pervasive effect of these can be mitigated when women adopt a strategy of neglection, coupled with a strategy of networking both via their own networks and their husband's networks; (2) the incongruities of cultural and cognitive expected ways of emotional expression on women with the expected performance of leadership. This impacts the status conferral that shapes the worthiness of females to emerge as leaders, leading female leaders in our study to build a protective shield of emotion display to keep them perceived as worthy individuals for leadership roles.

| Abstract (Indonesian): | Dengan merujuk pada teori Expectation State, paper ini menganalisis proses kognitif sosial mengenai dampak dari stereotip jender dengan unsur‐unsur skemanya yang dihasilkan secara kultural, yaitu keyakinan akan status, karakteristik status, dan emosi, pada tahap awal usaha perempuan untuk muncul sebagai pemimpin didunia akademisi.Dengan menggunakan sampling yang nyaman (konvinens) dan wawancara dengan lima orang partisipan akademisi perempuan dari tiga universitas negeri dan swasta diwilayah bagian barat Indonesia, penelitian ini mengungkapkan bahwa dua praktek kognitif sosial mempengaruhi usaha perempuan untuk muncul sebagai pemimpin; (1) ketidaksesuain mengenai keyakinan status yang diharapkan secara kultural dan kognitif dan karakteristik status mengenai perempuan dengan kinerja yang diharapkan mengenai kepemimpinan. Efek yang besar dari masalah tersebut dapat dikurangi ketika perempuan mengadopsi apa yang disebut strategi pengabaian, yang diiringi dengan strategi jaringan, baik melalui jaringan perempuan itu sendiri maupun jaringan dari suami mereka; (2) ketidaksesuaian mengenai bagaimana cara mengekspresikan emosi yang diharapkan oleh budaya dan kognitif terhadap perempuan dengan kinerja kepemimpinan yang diharapkan. Hal ini berdampak pada pemberian status yang membentuk kelayakan perempuan untuk muncul sebagai pemimpin, yang kemudian menyebabkan perempuan dalam penelitian kami membentuk tameng pelindung yang digunakan sebagai petunjuk dalam bagaimana memperlihatkan emosi untuk menjaga agar mereka tetap dipandang sebagai individu yang pantas untuk peran kepemimpinan.
