This chapter provides an overview of the antecedents and consequences of gossip in work groups. First, the chapter reviews the different motives for gossip in work groups (i.e., bonding, entertainment, emotional venting, information exchange, maintenance of group norms/social order, and interpersonal aggression) and links each motive to psychological theory. Second, the chapter reviews the different types of influence that gossip can have on various indicators of group effectiveness. Reflecting on the motives underlying gossip in work groups, as well as on its outcomes, it argues that future research should start integrating the diverse insights provided by earlier research on both gossip motives and outcomes, and it provides a number of suggestions for doing so.

This study examined the effect of masculinity of clothing on the perception of masculine and feminine managerial traits in women. Each of 70 subjects viewed one of four videotapes of a woman interviewing for a management position and rated the applicant on 14 masculine and feminine managerial traits. The masculinity of the clothing worn by the applicant in each videotape was manipulated so that clothing presented in each of the four videotapes represented a different degree of masculinity. Analysis of variance showed a significant relationship between masculinity of the clothing worn and perception of masculine managerial traits in women. More masculine clothing conveyed more masculine managerial traits. However, masculinity of clothing did not affect the perception of feminine managerial traits.
