Men's and Women's Organizational Peer Relationships: A Comparison Janie Harden Fritz

Janie Harden Fritz

Duquesne University

A study of differences in men's and women's information, collegial, and special organizational peer relationships was conducted on a large, diverse sample (n = 666) in order to explore whether (1) work friendships tended to be same- or cross-sex and (2) whether same-sex work relationships had features and func tions similar to nonwork same-sex relationships. Results were generally sup portive of findings outside the organizational context for men's and women's relationships, but several interesting patterns were noted across relationship types that suggest different relational trajectories for men's and women's rela tionships. Specifically, the number of relationships claimed by men and women were similar, but women's collegial relationships were higher on several rela tional functions than men's, and women's special peer relationships were stronger than men's in several areas. This study shows that the work setting as a context is, for friendship purposes, similar to nonwork contexts.
