Abstract

Gender often plays a significant role in affecting employee performance, performance ratings, and related human resource decisions in the organization. The effect of gender on different outcomes is especially important in the work environment, when job performance is assessed by supervisors and managers. The ratings of male and female workers may be influenced by gender stereotyping leading to more negative evaluations of women's job related activities. When India's human development index is adjusted for gender equality, it becomes South Asia's worst performing country after Afghanistan, new number in the UNDP's Human Development Report 2013 show. Pakistan, Nepal and Bangladesh, which are poorer than India and have lower HDIs, all do comparatively better than India when it comes to gender equality. The HDI is a composite indicator composed of three equally weighted measures for education, health and income. In this paper we analyse and explain the role of gender on organizational performance in banking sector. Survey method was employed and the data was drawn from the employees who are working in public sectors banks in the NCR.
