Two thirds of women prefer working for male bosses because they are better managers and less prone to moods, a study has suggested.
Many female employees also like having a man in charge because they are 'more authoritative' and 'more straight-talking' than their female counterparts.
Women rated men 'tougher', 'better at delegation' and also more likely to regularly dish out praise.
And men were also hailed as being better decision-makers and having more grasp of the business overall than women do.
It also emerged four out of ten women who have female bosses believe they could do a better job than their immediate superior.
The study of 2,000 women in full or part-time employment asked whether they would prefer to have a man or woman as their immediate line manager.
Some 63 per cent expressed a male preference, while only 37 per cent opted for a woman.
The results also revealed one in six women who currently work under a woman is experiencing 'underlying tension' between themselves and their boss.
A host of reasons emerged for the male preference including a feeling female managers felt threatened by other women at work.
A failure to leave personal problems at home was also cited.
Other issues included a lack of flexibility over leaving early or starting late.
But despite the worries, female bosses did score highly on the more personal side of the manager/employee relationship.
They were revealed as being approachable, more trustworthy and more compassionate in a member of staff's time of need.

一項調查顯示，三分之二的女性更愿意為男上司工作，因為他們是更好的管理者，而且比較不會情緒化。
許多女雇員也喜歡有一個男主管，因為他們“更有權威”，而且比女主管“說話更坦誠”。
女人對男上司的評價是“更堅強”、“更善于委派”，而且更能夠經常性地給予稱贊。
另外，男人們還被認為是更好的決策者，相對于女人能更好地從整體把握行業情況。
那些有女上司的女職員中，百分之四十認為她們能比她們的頂頭上司干得更好。
這項研究調查了2000名全職或兼職女雇員，問題就是她們更愿意自己的部門主管是男性還是女性。
63%的女雇員更希望自己的直接上司是男性，而37%的女雇員選擇了女上司。
調查結果還顯示，目前在為女上司工作的女雇員中，每六個人中有一個人跟上司之間存在“潛在的緊張關系”。
男性上司被青睞的眾多原因包括女性管理者在工作當中會感覺到來自其它女同事的威脅。
女上司把個人問題帶到工作中也是原因之一。
其他原因還包括女上司在早退或晚到的問題上缺乏靈活性。
但是盡管有以上的憂慮，女性上司在管理者和雇員之間的關系中更人性化的方面得分很高。
調查發現她們更加平易近人，更值得信任，而且在員工需要的時候更有同情心。
