Rf. Scherer et Ja. Petrick, The effects of gender role orientation on team schema: A multivariate analysis of indicators in a US Federal Health Care Organization, J SOC PSYCH, 141(1), 2001, pp. 7-22
In this empirical study of 649 employees at a federally supported health ca
re facility in the United States, the authors investigated the effects of i
ndividual gender role orientation on team schema. The results indicated (a)
that nontraditional male and female employees perceived the greatest amoun
t of group cohesion in their team schemas and (b) that both traditional and
nontraditional male employees perceived greater problem-solving potential
in their team schemas. Meaningful implications for team composition are dis
cussed.
