A new survey from The Rockefeller Foundation found that male attitudes in the workplace is a top reason why there are so few female CEOs.

Sixty-five percent of those surveyed said the attitudes of men in top leadership positions are a barrier to female leadership. A striking 90 percent of women said attitudes of men in a company play a role in holding women back, while only 49 percent of men said the same.

The survey also revealed the following:

  • Thirty-three percent of Americans believe women aren’t interested in leadership roles.
  • Forty-two percent believe women lack the confidence to go for top positions.
  • Forty-six percent said there aren’t enough qualified women for leadership roles

Laura Gordon, managing director at The Rockefeller Foundation, said it was “sad.” However, the survey doesn’t intend to blame men, but rather convey the message that the responsibility to hire more women does lie with them since they account for the vast majority of the leadership in corporate America.

“They’ll have to provide the opportunities for women to rise up through the pipeline,” Gordon told HuffPost.

Only 6 percent of Fortune 500 companies have a female CEO, but this gender disparity is hardly a new issue. Some companies, like Groupon and Wal-Mart, have launched programs to help women rise within their companies. However, more needs to change according to the Rockefeller survey, apparently starting with men’s attitudes.

The Rockefeller Foundation worked with Global Strategy Group to conduct a national poll of 1,010 adults ages 18 and older at the end of May.
