A study finds that women must be nice to be influential at work.
” and we’re expected to be warm and welcoming at all times. Do men have to worry about these things? Are they expected to be well-liked and compassionate in order to succeed at work?Men are perceived as confident if they’re simply just good at their jobs, the study finds. The study concluded that women basically need to show kindness and empathy in order to be valued at work. Men only need to do well at their jobs to be viewed as confident, according to the study.
As women, we’re damned if we do and damned if we don’t when it comes to the workplace. We’re expected to fit stereotypically “feminine” traits, all while acknowledging that confidence and assertiveness are valued and influential. Raise your hand if you’re just plain tired of the endless double standards for men and women at work.
“Our results showed that […] the penalty for being low on characteristics related to warmth is not proportionate for women,” the research states. “It was more difficult for high-performing women than men to influence others in their organization, unless in addition to their high performance the women had others’ interests at heart, as is stereotypically expected from women.”
Yes, tell us more about the male advantage in the work place. So in order to succeed at work, we need to possess the traits of*Insert frustrated eye roll.* We’re not suggesting that being confident and kind should be mutually exclusive when it comes to who we are at work. You can and should try to be both. But the fact that those characteristics are optional for men but required for women in order to achieve the same amount of success – well, it’s exhausting.
