“if networks of women are formed, they should be job related and task related rather than female-concerns related. Personal networks for sociability in the context of a work organization would tend to promote the image of women contained in the temperamental model - that companies must compensate for women's deficiencies and bring them together for support because they could not make it on their own. But job-related task forces serve the social-psychological functions while reinforcing a more positive image of women.” IfsShouldTogetherJobsForceSocialCompanySupportModelsConcernFemaleTasksOrganizationFunctionPsychologicalRelatedDeficiencySociabilityTask ForcesPositive Image Author:Rosabeth Moss Kanter

“I wish that one would be persuaded that psychological experiments, especially those on the complex functions, are not improved [by large studies]; the statistical method gives only mediocre results; some recent examples demonstrate that. The American authors, who love to do things big, often publish experiments that have been conducted on hundreds and thousands of people; they instinctively obey the prejudice that the persuasiveness of a work is proportional to the number of observations. This is only an illusion.” PeopleGivingHas BeensBigsWould BeScienceWishResultsNumbersStudyExampleIllusionFunctionPrejudiceMethodComplexesExperimentsPsychologicalObservationMediocrePublishAmerican Author Author:Alfred Binet
