An evolutionary account of women's workplace status
Article Abstract:
An accurate understanding of human psychology is of major significance to those who study and manage organizations. The tendency of men to achieve more high-status positions and earn more money than women in employment and the status of women in the workplace are normally attributed to external forces such as discrimination by employers and societal conditioning rather than inherent differences between both sexes. Research in the fields of evolutionary biology and evolutionary psychology belie this assumption and may explain much of the disparities.
