Abstract Details

2007, MA, University of Cincinnati, Arts and Sciences : Psychology.
There has been an increase in the use of work teams and managerial training programs in today’s businesses in order to increase innovation. A team climate that is conducive to participation is imperative to creating innovative processes and products. As more women are represented in managerial positions, there is a need to understand the impact of gender in managerial training programs and on team climate. The present study examined 183 middle-management employees (70% male, 29% female) from a Fortune 500 company training program who participated in a small group experience that focused on active listening skills and problem solving. It was hypothesized that female team members who had a female leader would have a greater positive change in their perception of the level of team engagement as measured by the Group Climate Questionnaire (GCQ-S; MacKenzie, 1983), and would rate the group experience as more helpful. No support was found for the hypotheses.
