Washington: Women who send flirtatious emails, wear short skirts or massage a man's shoulders at the workplace win fewer pay raises and promotions, according to a new study.
The study, conducted among MBA graduates by Tulane University, showed that half the respondents have sometimes engaged in some sexual behaviours to advance in their careers.
This includes crossing legs provocatively or leaning over a table to let men look down their shirts, it said.
But, interestingly, those women who said they have never engaged in sexual activities have earned an average of three promotions against two for the group that had employed sexuality, the study showed.
Those who said they never used sexuality at a workplace were, on an average, earning $75,000-$100,000 per annum, while the other half fell in the next-lowest range, $50,000 to $75,000.
The women in the study, the first of its kind, ranged in the age of mid-20 to 60 years, the 'USA Today' reported.
It was an attempt to make plain the negative consequences of such behaviour, the report said.
Academic experts have so far not studied the use of sexual behaviour in the work place.
After searching managerial literature, Tulane professor Arthur Brief found no evidence showing such behaviour to be effective or ineffective.
The Tulane study's findings are statistically significant to professional women looking for career advancement, Brief said.
Brief said the study goes so far as to suggest that women should even be careful about letting men open doors, because chivalry is "benevolent sexism" that advances the stereotype that women are vulnerable and weak.
Pissant, pissant. Search is your friend. Then again, this was posted under a different title, so you can't be blaimed.
I can't wait to tell my wife that !!!!!!
"Now why did they have to go and publish this?"
Exactly. Can't people keep their mouths shut?:-)
True. I cannot be blamed
Sounds reasonable to me! ;o)
and even if you could be, no one would care. I've noticed a trend here on FR. An article will be posted and will get in the neighborhood of 30 replies. It'll get posted again and get about 130 replies. It'll get posted again and get 7 replies. I've never been able to figure it out
BTW, I have NOT forgotten our bet. If the Seahawks do better, I owe you 20 bucks, if the Steelers do better, you owe me 20 bucks.
Pure BS. Women can take control by expecting men to hold the door for them, and using the tilt hand technique to control a handshake. Using femininity to control is not the same as being an office slut.
Pissant, ssssshhhhhhh!!! Come on, man, whatcha tryin' to do??? =)
Start saving your scheckels!
Great, now I have this mental image.
Thank goodness most women will ignore this crap and continue to hike up those skirts! ;o)
"Women who send flirtatious emails, wear short skirts or massage a man's shoulders at the workplace win fewer pay raises and promotions"
Don't believe this ladies, this must be some terrible, feminazi propaganda.
Ping
There's always an audience for the office slut though. ;o)
Things that make you go Hmmmmm......
Let's see, you have a burned out QB, crap defense, and recievers who can't catch. I have a QB who is 15-1 as a starter, a future hall of fame running back, a possible hall of fame wide reciever, and one of the top five defenses in the NFL. You might as well go ahead and send me the check
You got that right!
What, just cause I don't dress like your grandma I'm a slut????????????!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yeah, it's uh .... a left wing conspiracy to make conservative women less attractive so HildaBeast will look more "womanly" (snicker) around 2008 ... don't fall for it ladies!!!
