20.500.12556/RUL-179845 Gender differences in business and organizational decision‐making implications for gender equality The effectiveness of work largely depends on the employees and their decision‐making abilities. Research indicates that gender differences in decision‐making can influence management practices, organizational effectiveness, and overall performance outcomes. Although women and men possess equal intellectual capabilities and should be treated equally, their decision‐making approaches often differ, offering complementary strengths. These differences underscore the importance of viewing gender‐based decision‐making styles as enriching rather than hierarchical and highlight why achieving gender equality remains critical. To optimize decision‐making within individuals and groups in business and organizational settings, it is essential to understand both the advantages and limitations associated with the decision‐making processes of each gender. Based on an extensive review of scholarly books and articles, along with empirical data collected through the Melbourne Decision Making Questionnaire completed by 133 participants, this study first analyses and discusses gender differences in individual decision‐making within business and organizational contexts. This analysis provides the foundation for examining how the gender composition of groups influences group decision‐making, highlighting the importance of promoting gender equality in organizational decision‐making processes — an issue of growing significance in the developed world. gender decision‐making gender equality business organizations management vodenje moški ženske razlike med spoloma uspešnost poslovanja true false true Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Na spletni strani založnika navedeno, da članki izhajajo pod licenco CC BY-NC 4.0.
