In workplaces with a high percentage of women in a management position more individualized employee feedback is carried out, more democratic decisions are adopted and more interpersonal channels of communications are established, according to a study by the Universidad Carlos III de Madrid (UC3M).
This research study aims to study up to what point administrative practices of persons in the workplace are different in management teams that have a higher proportion of women. "In line with known gender differences in individual leadership, we find that in workplaces with more women managers more individualized employee feedback is carried out,” asserted the study’s author, Eduardo Melero, Professor in the UC3M Department of Business Administration, who has published the results of this research in the Journal of Business Research. "Likewise we can see evidence, although weaker, that in these workplaces decisions are made more democratically and more interpersonal channels of communications are established,” he added.
