Abstract There has always been a controversy in the academic circles about whether female superiors are more willing to employ female subordinates. Based on the data of Chinese family listed companies from 2008 to 2016, this paper studies the influence of CEO's gender on the employment of female subordinates, and the moderation effect of CEO's family attribute. Research results show that: first, female CEOs in family businesses employ fewer female subordinates than male CEOs. Second, compared with family male CEOs, non-family male CEOs and non-family female CEOs, family female CEOs employ the least number of family female subordinates. Similarly, non-family female CEOs employ the least non-family female subordinates among all CEOs. The paper expands the application situation of tokenism and enriches the research on gender and family business.
