A study claims friendly staff receive lower wages than their less agreeable colleagues. Despite working just as hard, they are often reluctant to push for pay rises, too focused on team work and overly concerned about being liked.
有研究称，友好待人的员工比那些不太讨人喜欢的同事收入更低。虽然他们工作认真，但从不主动要求加薪，他们过分注重团队合作，一心只想讨别人喜欢。
Researchers at the University of Sheffield made the discovery while looking at the impact of personality traits on workers' productivity and pay.
Their study found: 'More agreeable workers tend to earn less in the actual labor1 market, but their productivity is similar when measured in the laboratory setting.'
The study found women were most likely to show agreeable personality traits, perhaps one reason for the gender3 pay gap.
Being agreeable made workers more successful in team work, but had three negative effects on their performance.
'First, helping4 others may reduce individual productivity,' the study found. 'Secondly5, agreeable people may be less effective when bargaining their wage. Finally, agreeable individuals may enter less stable, lower paid occupations.'
The study was presented at the Royal Economic Society's 2015 annual conference in Manchester yesterday by Ana Nuevo-Chiquero, of The University of Sheffield, who conducted the research alongside Australian and Spanish academics.
