This exploratory study examined agreement between 829 women and 766 men working in 22 offices in their reports of seven work-setting characteristics and six affective responses to their work and firm. Significant correlations were found on only three affective work responses suggesting little agreement between women and men in the same offices. Possible explanations for these findings are proposed.
