Employee satisfaction in work groups with different gender composition

Article Abstract:

A study was conducted to assess the effects of gender homogeneity on the performance of work groups and employee job satisfaction. Results showed that high group gender homogeneity decreases job satisfaction, with employees working in gender-balanced work groups showing high satisfaction scores. Homogenous male groups showed lowest levels of job satisfaction while homogenous female groups showed moderate levels of satisfaction. Findings support previous study of the enhancing effects of gender heterogeneity on work groups.
