33% of Singapore employees would be happier working for male boss

Only a measly 8% prefer women.

According to a survey by JobsCentral, while the majority of respondents (59%) said they didn’t have a preference for male or female bosses, those who did indicate a preference showed a significant preference for male bosses.

The survey also said that 33 per cent of respondents believe they would be happier working for a male boss. On the other hand, just 8 per cent of respondents said they prefer a female superior.

"A total of 256 employers and 3,299 employees from all occupational levels and industries participated in the surveys which ran from August to October 2012," JobsCentral said.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.


The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.


So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
