Men and women at work

Abstract

Outlines the eight main types of work on offer in any organization and presents a “teamwork wheel” which incorporates these eight categories and the skill of “liking” which is common to all types of work. Gives the results of a questionnaire which aimed to indicate the work preferences of males and females largely based in the UK, USA and Australia. Finds that there is little difference in the work preferences of men and women but concludes that it is essential for each individual to understand his/her own work preferences and to understand ways to work effectively with others.
