Abstract
In this article the author discusses research she conducted that examined why women do not perform at the same level as men in organizational settings. She notes that, while progress in being made, women still remain concentrated in lower paying, lower prestige jobs when compared to their male colleagues. The author examines the effect the feedback has on the self-confidence of both women and men, noting that women were more likely to express lower levels of self-confidence in achievement situations when feedback is not provided. She adds that when feedback is supplied women express levels of self-confidence equal to that of men. She also discusses some methodological problems with the research and offers several hypotheses framed by the results of this study.
