  Recent studies show that gender diversity in IT teams has a positive impact
on the software development process. However, there is still a great gender
inequality. The aim of our study was to examine how the working atmosphere
depends on the gender differentiation of IT teams. The analysis of the results
of the interviews and questionnaires showed that the atmosphere in
gender-differentiated teams is more pleasant compared to purely male ones. The
paper also discusses the problem of gender discrimination, which, according to
the results of the study, unfortunately still exists and affects the working
atmosphere. Finally, we looked at ways to reduce the gender inequity, where it
turned out that soft approaches such as dedicated training, workshops to show
the human face of the IT industry are preferred.
