Global: acceptable behavior in workplace by gender

Nearly twice as many males as females found it acceptable to show or display material of a sexual nature in the workplace. In detail, 13 percent of the male respondents found this respectable compared to just seven percent of the female respondents. A similar pattern was seen in terms of dating: here, 15 percent of males found it acceptable to continue to ask a colleague for a date when they have said no before, compared to nine percent of females.

Supplementary notes

The sample consists of 1,000+ individuals in each of Australia, Brazil, Canada, China France, Germany, Great Britain, Italy, Japan, Spain, and the U.S., and of 500+ individuals in each of the other countries surveyed

The data is weighted so each country’s sample composition best reflects the demographic profile of its adult population according to the most recent census data, and to give each country an equal weight in the total “global” sample. Online surveys can be taken as representative of the general working-age population in Argentina, Australia, Belgium, Canada, France, Germany, Great Britain, Hungary, Italy, Japan, Netherlands, Poland, South Korea, Spain, Sweden, and the United States. Online samples in other countries surveyed are more urban, more educated and/or more affluent than the general population and the results should be viewed as reflecting the views of a more “connected” population.
