As a result of affinity bias, most men prefer to work, mentor and sponsor other men.
Affinity bias is a core factor in workplace gender inequality. Showing preference for certain types of people with whom one shares likeness has had harmful results for women working in male-dominated offices: women are often selected for career-enhancing assignments only after their male colleagues have been considered. In a gendered work environment, where women exist in the outgroup, they’re less likely to be listened to in meetings and given credit for their accomplishments.
ADVERTISEMENT A new study, to be published in the journal Organizational Dynamics, reveals that “following the #MeToo movement, men are significantly more reluctant to interact with their female colleagues,” The Guardian reports. Some depressing statistics found in the research reveal that: So things have gotten worse. But it’s not just men who have shown increasing reluctance to hire women. Internalized misogyny rears its ugly head, as the 2018 research found that more than 10% of men and women said they expected to be more wary to hire attractive women. The 2019 results for women have not yet been made public.
