The assumption that a flatter organizational structure would attract a diverse talent pool, particularly women, has been challenged by new research showing it may actually deter female applicants.
Women perceive flatter organizational structures as presenting a potential increase in workload and fewer career advancement opportunities, leading to decreased interest in applying.
Companies need to reevaluate how they market their organizational configurations. Misrepresentation can discourage women from applying, ultimately affecting diversity efforts.
The findings emphasize the importance of how companies present their hierarchy in recruitment, as perceived lack of support and opportunity may push women away.
