Report on collected best practices of gender-sensitive research in partners´ institutions

This case study presents an example of research challenging common assumptions that self-confidence differs between men and women. It asks whether gaining influence varies per gender and examines the role of self-confidence appearance in influencing an organisation. Essential practices of gender integration include:

• Integrating the gender dimension throughout the research project, from the conceptualisation of the problem to the discussion of results.
• Specifying how the research findings have different practical implications for female and male employees, both at the individual and organisational levels.
