I mean Hiring…hiring. Phew, that went almost wrong.
Yes, you can’t be too careful in these times where political correctness to the highest lofty goal. Anyway, unlike some other media, we at autoblog are always friendly to the women. So also now, because research shows that women make better engineers than men. Personally I think it is very dangerous to make such generalizing statements and groups against each other, let’s be clear.
Anyway, the Royal Institute Of Engineers (KIWI-KIVI) thinks otherwise. In collaboration with the HR people of HFMtalentindex let the research do to the veranderingsbereidheid of engineers, as well as the differences between a man and a woman. Apparently they were at the KIVI are not yet familiar with the adage ‘nothing is as changeable as a woman’.
For people who have or are familiar with, it will not come as a surprise that women are ‘more agile‘ prove to be more than men. According to Micaela dos Ramos, director of KIVI and woman, is that a good thing. The society is facing great changes and to be there as well as possible to deal with them, need to be flexible.
According to chairman Jan Meijning, senior psychologist of HFMtalentindex and the master’s degree, the research ‘is rather an outcome’.
“Do you want your organization to change, then you can so it is best to have a female engineer in the service. Female engineers score on all of the faces better than men. They are much more aware of their own development and are also much more focused on the dynamics of the group. For a successful career are qualities that are very important.”
Just like in the movie Mean Girls are women are more concerned with the group process. Psychologists find that nice. According to Meijning is this productive setting is also a consequence of the fact that female engineers are often a male domain to enter. That ensures that they are more willing to themselves the question whether they are the right things to do.
“There [entering a male domain] fits that they are more wondering whether or not they have the right competencies and the right place to sit. They also find it important for colleagues’support for what they do.”
The research method to the veranderingsbereidheid and effectiveness of employees is flown in from America. But, should we really be happy? I have the impression that research of this type especially a gevalletje ‘by psychologists, for psychologists’. A recruiter made me ever reveals that all of the studies and tests to the contrary, a simple IQ test tells you far more about the potential success of an employee in a given job than all of the psychology-mumbojumbo.
Yet it is precisely this last is becoming a selection criterion for all kinds of positions in society. Potentially, this leads to huge economic damage, if it is the wrong criterion. What concerns me can we use the ‘Biodanzaïsering’ of the society as quickly as possible to stop. But do especially just like you on a bench located in a safe-space, and let your reflections on this matter los, in the comments.
