Most employees in Singapore still prefer having a male boss, a new report by recruitment firm Randstad has revealed.
The findings would appear to back up a report last week that three-quarters of female employees in Singapore feel that women are under-represented in workplace leadership positions.
According to Randstad's global Q3 2016 Workmonitor report, some 76 per cent of employees in Singapore surveyed stated that they prefer to work under a male boss, the fourth-highest proportion among the 33 countries in the study.
This was higher than the global average of 65 per cent who preferred a male superior.
Such sentiments were shared even by women in Singapore, with 74 per cent saying that they had a strong preference for male direct bosses, surpassing the much lower global average of 58 per cent.
The study was conducted from July 20 to Aug 4 this year via an online questionnaire among employees aged 18-65 who worked at least 24 hours a week in a paid job.
