Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Socially accepted gender scripts can create different expectations and limitations for women in business, leading to differential performance. This can include expectations around assertiveness, communication styles, and networking. Socio-economic differences and balancing family and career obligations may also contribute, but option A specifically addresses the impact of socialization and societal norms on women's experiences in business. Option B mentions team expectations, but this is just one aspect of the broader issue described in option A. Option D focuses on time constraints rather than social disadvantage, and is therefore not the best choice for this question.
