We publish a lot of articles based on new research (you may have noticed). This year, some of our most viewed and shared stories were based on studies about women — and, more specifically, stories looking at differences in how men and women are treated, and behave, at work. I’ve summarized six below, including one where the office is actually a tennis court.
What Research Tells Us About How Women Are Treated at Work
Six of the most important studies we covered in 2017.
December 27, 2017
Summary.
Numerous studies show how men and women are treated differently at work, and how these differences affect behavior. This roundup of research articles, six in total, explores why women don’t apply for roles if they’ve been previously rejected; what wearing sensors in the office reveals about gender bias; how marriage impacts women’s careers (and vice versa); how VCs talk about male and female entrepreneurs differently; and why women choke less than men (at least when it comes to tennis).
