Men and Women on the Job

Abstract

Because women are now the largest group entering the labor pool, it is important to know how sex and gender differences relate to communication, job satisfaction, and work performance. This research assessed how 800 organizationally experienced and work-oriented women and men rated the importance of the eight characteristics of effective work teams. Responses to the survey instrument were examined for gender differences. It was found that women rated the importance of (a) team members' job knowledge; (b) competent, respected, and fair leadership; and (c) team members' liking, trusting, and helping each other significantly higher than did men.
