- Abstract
- Examines gender differences in communication patterns within a single, large, professional services firm. Considers 9 specific sources of information, in 3 broad categories (interpersonal, official company publications, informal). Data was collected in a single, large, professional services company by means of a questionnaire survey. Respondents indicated how much information they received, their preference for information, and the value of information received from each source. Results indicated few gender differences at the highest organizational levels (partners, managers) but considerable gender differences at lower organizational levels (professional field staff, secretarial and support staff). Women at lower organizational levels had greater preference for information from all 3 sources and received more information from official company publications and informal sources
