The relationship of same- and cross-gender work pairs to staff performance and supervisor leadership in residence hall units

This seven campus study found that whether men and women resident assistants report to a hall director of their same or different gender makes no difference in their view of supervisory leadership, satisfaction with the leader, overall job satisfaction, or motivation to extra effort.This research was supported in part by a grant from the Center for Educational Research and Development in the College of Education and the Computer Science Center at the University of Maryland College Park.
