Abstract: The inequality of gender is a severe problem that exists in our professionalism and also has a negative impact in leadership. Gender-based biasness also has negative outcomes from both genders. The present study investigates gender differences’ impact on leadership and evaluate outcomes while using gender-based biasness as moderator. Because according to previous studies bias level of leadership keeps changing with the passage of time. Another motive of present research is to enhance knowledge about gender-based biasness according to both genders. While using survey research method we gather data from 370 employees of different sectors. The unit of analysis of this study is individual and data was collected only for once and probability sampling technique was used in the present study. In present research we have used non-contrived setting and likert scale is used to measure to variables. The gender difference does not affect the leadership behavior without moderation, but when we used gender-based biasness then it changes. Same as gender differences also does not affect leadership outcomes without moderation. Leadership behavior and outcome both were insignificant without moderation but after using gender-based biasness they are significant. The present study has limitation to do not collect data from students, all the data will be gather from the employees of different sectors. The conclusion contains that gender difference does not affect the leadership but gender-based biasness moderates their relationship. The current study suggests to investigate impact of transgender on leadership for future study. Another suggestion is that this study is conducted in Pakistan, the researchers can do this in other country or region.
