Two-thirds of U.S. Workers Rate Bosses Highly
Nearly two-thirds (69 percent) of U.S. workers rate their supervisors as excellent or good according to a national poll of 1,246 U.S. workers compiled by Rasmussen Reports, LLC, an independent research firm.
27 percent believe they can perform their bosses' jobs better. Workers aged 18-29 and those earning less than $20,000 annually were more likely to make that claim than their counterparts in higher age and income brackets. Nearly a third of male workers say they could outperform their bosses, compared to a fifth of female workers.
31 percent of U.S. workers work for supervisors who are about their same age, with one out of every six workers (16 percent) reporting to someone younger. The survey also reveals that the number of employees working for male bosses far exceeds those working for female bosses (65 percent vs. 31 percent).
Performance ratings for both male and female bosses were nearly identical with seventy-one percent of male employees rating their male bosses as good or excellent and 68 percent rating their female bosses the same. Similarly, 69 percent of women employees rate their male bosses as excellent or good while 71 percent rate female bosses the same way.
"We are encouraged to see that the myth about gender and leadership roles has been challenged," says Alicia Barker, vice-president, Human Resources, Hudson North America. "In fact, women are no better or worse than men in the practice of management and leadership. It all depends on the culture of the organization and the performance of the particular individual."
Supervisors rated by gender:
Men Women
Male Boss Female Boss Male Boss Female Boss
