Women tend to have higher levels of relational interdependence, meaning they are more concerned with maintaining positive relationships and tend to be more attentive to the needs and contributions of others. This makes them less likely to engage in social loafing. Men, on the other hand, tend to prioritize individual achievement and may be more prone to social loafing when they feel their individual efforts will not be recognized or rewarded.
