Abstract

In a workplace, managers, employees, and other workers are faced with different situations that require critical thinking and involving decision-making. Interactions and people's behaviors influence their perception towards each other. For example, gender issues arise from these factors and this can influence the level of closeness amongst people or the type of treatments people receive from their colleagues. This chapter treats the perception and gender biases in a workplace by seeking to understand the relationship between these two concepts. This is a literature review intended to develop a clear perspective of the topic based on a number of journal articles.

In contrast, the disadvantage of stereotypes is that it leads people to ignore their differences with other individuals (Cadinu and Galdi, 2012). This means that stereotypes push people to generalize others by thinking about them or things that might be true. [...]
