Are Women Less Driven to Seek Workplace Power if They Wield Power at Home?
Research Finding
Women aged 18–30 expressed less interest in seeking power in the workplace if they were directed to envision themselves having authority over household choices such as menus and furniture, rather than to imagine sharing such decisions EQUALLY with a spouse (2.47 versus 2.77, on average, on a 1-to-5 interest scale) .
Reason
 Women seem unaware that they experience power as a tradeoff — that their enjoyment of household authority undermines their motivation to seek power in the workplace, the researchers say.
