EI and Gender at Tata
Employees at Tata Infotech Ltd. consisting of both genders i.e. Male and Female employees who were interviewed were 16 Male employees and 4 Female employees. (Fig 4)
Relative to the many differences found for performance and potential, there were fewer differences found relating to gender.
The ratings show differences in five emotional competencies, Emotional Self-Awareness, Conscientiousness, Developing Others, Service Orientation, and Communication.
In all of these areas, women received the higher ratings. (Table 1)
Research concerning gender difference in leadership performance has found little evidence to suggest that males and females differ in their leadership effectiveness.
In particular, several studies have demonstrated that there is little to no difference in satisfaction levels of Subordinates of either male or female leaders.
The findings of the current study support this research. However, some studies suggest that the style by which males and females lead has consistently been found to be
different. A meta-analysis conducted by Eagly & Johnson (1990) found females to have better social skills and to be described as "interested in other people." Women
leaders as a group, when compared to male leaders as a group, tend to be described as more friendly, pleasant, and socially sensitive.
This finding is consistent with the current study, showing higher scores for females in several of the interpersonal and social competencies measured
