Who believes this? A new study claims Women who have power at work are at risk of poorer mental health than women further down the career ladder..
‘Women with job authority – the ability to hire, fire and influence pay – have significantly more symptoms of depression than women without this power,’ said Tetyana Pudrovska, of the University of Texas, who carried out the study...
According to the study published on Dailymail,In contrast, men with job authority have fewer symptoms of depression than men without such power.
‘What’s striking is that women with job authority in our study are advantaged in terms of most characteristics that are strong predictors of positive mental health,’ ‘These women have more education, higher incomes, more prestigious occupations, and higher levels of job satisfaction and autonomy than women without job authority.‘Yet they have worse mental health than lower-status women
Prof Pudrovska said the reason a woman with authority may be negatively impacted is that she can encounter ‘resistance’ from colleagues, who may judge her for being ‘unfeminine’.
‘Years of social science research suggests that women in authority positions deal with interpersonal tension, negative social interactions, negative stereotypes, prejudice, social isolation, as well as resistance from subordinates, colleagues and superiors,’ she said.Image-Getty via Dailymail
‘Women in authority positions are viewed as lacking the assertiveness and confidence of strong leaders.But when these women display such characteristics, they are judged negatively for being unfeminine. This contributes to chronic stress.’

ReplyDeleteGina you are a very interesting babe .

Yeah , Am with you on this one , How many women and what part of the world .
I agree with you cos most times people do not carry out research with valid number of cohorts. This automatically makes the statistics invalid. Also, there are always cofounding factors in such behavioural/ attitudinal research. were they considered?
