The survey, “State of the American Manager: Analytics and Advice for Leaders,” finds that 41 percent of female managers are engaged in their day-to-day work, compared to just 35 percent of men (and 30 percent of all employees). Those who work for a female boss are six percentage points more engaged than those with a male boss.

Female workers with a female boss have the highest engagement score (35 percent) – while male employees working for male managers have the lowest (25 percent). Employees who report to a female manager have higher scores than those with male managers on 11 out of 12 engagement categories, including communicating expectations and encouraging development.

Managers make a major difference in the workplace: Half of all workers have left a job to get away from a supervisor.
