Women are making our way in the world of work, and little by little we are reaching the top. So much so that it has been shown that Spanish workers prefer to report to a female boss, giving us more power as time goes by. This tendency to prefer women as bosses is especially evident after 35 years of age, and increases considerably at 50.
Regarding the valuation of bosses, the study reveals that employees value their bosses less if they are of the opposite sex. In addition, said study reveals that up to 35 years of age, the level of satisfaction referred to the reconciliation between work and family is very similar whether the head is male (65% satisfaction) or a woman (68% satisfaction), but from that age the satisfaction is higher if the head is a woman (69% ) in front of a man (62%). These data become more radical among those surveyed over 50 years of age, satisfaction with a boss (65%) is lower than with a female boss (81%).
Workers elect women
These data are provided by a study prepared jointly on a sample of 1,200 Spanish workers belonging to different sectors of activity and with different degrees of responsibility and ages. In order for the sample to be more representative, since there are more men in the labor market, there are 57% of men surveyed compared to 43% of women.
Another contribution to take into account in this research is that the workers who are most satisfied with their job are those whose motivation is not only to earn money, but who value other aspects such as being useful to others or having access to social benefits. In your company.
