Biologische Grundlagen der Genderdifferenz

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: Fehlzeiten-Report ((FEHLREPORT,volume 2007))

Auszug

Männer und Frauen denken und fühlen unterschiedlich. Männergehirne unterscheiden sich im Durchschnitt sowohl in der Struktur als auch in manchen Funktionen von Frauengehirnen. Diese Unterschiede wurzeln bereits in der genetischen Programmierung der Nervenzellen im wachsenden Embryo. Im Laufe der Kindheit verstärken und verfestigen sich Unterschiede zwischen den Geschlechtern durch die Umwelt und die körperliche Weiterentwicklung. Gesundheitlich reagieren Männer in der Regel empfindlicher auf verletzten Stolz und fehlende Wertschätzung als Frauen. Sie profitieren stärker vom Ausbau ihres Einfluss- und Handlungsspielraums. Bei Frauen steht dass Bedürfnis nach sozialer Gemeinschaft mehr im Vordergrund. So ist es für Frauen von besonderer Bedeutung, das Miteinander im Team zu stabilisieren und zu fördern, insbesondere durch sensible Auswahl der Führungspersonen. Gerade in Zeiten gesteigerter Produktivitätsanforderungen sind Personal- und Führungsverantwortliche gut beraten, die neurobiologischen Grundlagen der Geschlechtsunterschiede zu berücksichtigen.
