Abstract
Using the career histories from LinkedIn data, this paper investigates whether the gender difference in work duration is related to gender difference in preference for competition. We estimate a difference-in-difference model by using an exogeneous shock caused by the removing of "rank and yank" performance appraisal system in the US publicly listed firms, which clearly reduces the level of competition within an organization. We find that women have shorter work duration in the IT industry, a highly stressed industry. While, the removing of "rank and yank" system increases women's work duration in the industry. This finding shows that the difference in preference for competition account for a significant share of the gender gap in work duration.
