How do men and women react differently to management? Why do some management practices contribute to gender inequity, even if they’re applied equally across all workers? What can managers do to better support workers of all identities, while maintaining productivity and quality of work?


Roman Galperin, Associate Professor of Organizational Behaviour at McGill University, explores the evidence.


Galperin recently published a study examining how men and women respond to increased monitoring and incentives from their managers. His findings show that, even when applied equally to all workers, some management tactics can further entrench gender inequities. He explains why.


Eric Dicaire, Delve’s managing editor, hosts this episode.
