Unhappy working with men? Workplace gender diversity and job-related well-being in Britain

Labour Economics, 2012, vol. 19, issue 3, 329-350

Abstract: This paper attempts to establish empirically the link between workplace gender diversity and employee job-related well-being in Britain. Using nationally representative linked employer–employee data and accounting for unobserved workplace heterogeneity the paper finds gender diversity to be associated with lower employee well-being for women. Workplace gender equality policies and practices are not found to ameliorate this finding.
