http://www.thefiscaltimes.com/2015/04/10/Why-Women-Bosses-Are-Best-Bottom-LineThe survey, State of the American Manager: Analytics and Advice for Leaders, finds that 41 percent of female managers are engaged in their day-to-day work, compared to just 35 percent of men (and 30 percent of all employees). Those who work for a female boss are six percentage points more engaged than those with a male boss.
Female workers with a female boss have the highest engagement score (35 percent) while male employees working for male managers have the lowest (25 percent). Employees who report to a female manager have higher scores than those with male managers on 11 out of 12 engagement categories, including communicating expectations and encouraging development.
Managers make a major difference in the workplace: Half of all workers have left a job to get away from a supervisor.

(3,747 posts)I wonder if in an equal society this would still be the case. Perhaps, but I have a feeling that the numbers would be more similar. At the moment, though, I can see why these results would be this way. Wish I could get the full report without having to give them my info. Too lazy to create a burner account atm. You wouldn't happen to have the download link, would you?

(9,126 posts)Female supervisors tend to work their tails off, while their male counterparts sometimes see their jobs as gracing employees with their presence, "supervisoring," golf/gym, and lunch. That's usually how it plays out in my industry.
