This study explored relationships between the number of employees working in a unit and measures of work experience and satisfaction. Data were collected from 1608 women and men from a single large professional services firm comprising 22 units. Individuals working in larger units described their work environment more negatively and reported less satisfying work outcomes. The effects of unit size were consistent but modest. Possible explanations for the observed relationships are offered
