Personnel Decisions International (PDI) today revealed the inaugural finding of its newly-introduced PDI Pulse on Leaders data by addressing a perennial question: who is more driven by financial and career prospects in corporate America � women or men? The answer is men, according to data gathered during the last three years.
"The PDI Pulse on Leaders mines the results of nearly 1,500 questionnaires we've gathered from leaders across the country," explains said Cynthia Marsh, president and chief operating officer of PDI. "We surveyed employees from a cross section of industries at all levels of the leadership pipeline � from front-line leaders through C-level executives. We asked them to rank the personal importance of workplace attributes such as challenging work content, sense of accomplishment, compensation, creativity and advancement. According to the data, regardless of leadership level, males were almost 20 percent more likely than their female colleagues to place greater importance on `financial and career prospects' � a term coupling the rankings they assigned to having advancement opportunities and the chance to earn high compensation."
