Women Will Come To The Fore In The Feeling Economy
A recent study from Lero, the Science Foundation Ireland Research Centre for Software, towed a familiar path. It revealed that adding women to software development teams not only boosted team performance but also reduced workplace delinquency.
“Companies should recruit more women to their development teams not only for obvious ethical reasons but because this will improve performance. Indeed, women software engineers significantly differ from men in terms of personality traits, which are related to higher job performance, ethics, and creativity. Men, despite having lower scores on emotionality, exhibit higher scores on the psychopathy trait, which may lead to a reduced level of team performance,” the researchers argue.
