'Competing with female co-workers could be bad for business, especially if you're a woman.

A new study has found that women might be held back in the workplace because of competition from other women.

Women who take competition with female co-workers too seriously might actually be damaging their careers by causing rifts and isolating themselves from the rest of the office.

According to the study from researchers at University College London's School of Management, the effect may be driven by fundamental differences between male and female culture values.

Dr Sun Young Lee, an assistant professor at UCL, found women experience competition with co-workers of the same gender more negatively than men do because female peer culture values harmony and equality.'
