A study by Elena Greguletz, Marjo-Riitta Diehl, and Karin Kreutzer found that women's tendency to harbour moral concerns about 'exploiting' social ties causes them to under-benefit from networking activities. Women also tend to underestimate and poorly demonstrate their own contributions in a professional context.
