//////why do men work better together than women? Some time ago there was research suggesting that women brought a different positive and nurturing perspective to the workplace. I'm lookiing for research that that shows that is in fact not the case. I've noticed this on reality TV: the women's teams fight; the men's teams have fun. I'm wondering if there's academic/busienss research that suggests that is widely true. Or that women bring special problems to the workplace especially when working with women. |

Just personal impressions that might not be supported by any research: women have told me (male) that a purely female working environment - a dept with a female department head - is less attractive and maybe less productive (very subjective opinions, of course). |

This may interest you: "A new study has found that women professionals belonging to all-female work teams are far more likely to want transfers from their groups than men belonging to all-male teams, according to new research by Professors Jennifer Chatman and Charles O'Reilly of Stanford University. While the men in this study were happy to be on all-male teams, their contentment did not translate conspicuously into a greater commitment to the company, enthusiasm for their work, or a spirit of team cooperativeness. On these three measures, women on all-female teams scored significantly higher than men on all-male teams. What then accounts for women's unhappiness with all-female teams? It's mainly a matter of status, according to Chatman, who holds the Paul J. Cortese Distinguished Professor of Management at Haas, and O'Reilly. They explain: 'Because of historical status differences between men and women at work, women may have expressed a greater likelihood of transferring out of all-female groups...in which the chances for advancement may be constrained by being in a female 'ghetto'." The study, which is published in the current issue (April) of the Academy of Management Journal, raises new challenges for the managers of project teams." http://www.haas.berkeley.edu/groups/newspubs/haasnews/archives/hn061404.html |

An attractive woman in the workplace is .. distracting An intelligent woman is manipulative Women menstruate in unisom (hormonal) Men go for a beer in unisom Men have no option but to work, the /average/ woman can always find a provider. Men are predictable - women are normally minefields. Men don't normally shag their bosses - women often do The list is endless |
