Gender, workplace preferences and firm performance: Looking through the glass door
利用Glassdoor数据发现女性员工对工作满意度更低且更重视工作生活平衡，但这一性别差异在管理层消失，表明不重视平衡的女性自选择进入管理岗位；工作生活平衡满意度性别差距小的家庭友好型企业绩效更好。
Abstract Using Glassdoor data we show that women are less satisfied at work than men and that female employees care more about work‐life balance. Further analysis shows that this gender difference in workplace preference vanishes at the manager level, suggesting that women who care less about work‐life balance self‐select into career paths that ultimately lead to management positions. Exploring the performance implications, we show that family‐friendly workplaces with smaller gender gaps in work‐life balance satisfaction are associated with better firm performance. Overall, our study implies that policies that aim to narrow the gender satisfaction gap can be socially and economically desirable.
