Well-off incomes are below "scrappy"

They say that people are always at the end of the line. Now, scientists have confirmed that the old truth —--at least when it comes to pay.

People who are friendly are less likely to pay than their less likeable counterparts, according to research. Although they work hard, they never ask for a raise, they pay too much attention to teamwork and are bent on pleasing others.

The researchers at Shffield University concluded this by analysing the impact of individual quality on productivity and remuneration.

They found that ' the more popular employees are often making less money in the current labour market, although in the experimental environment it is almost the same as the measured efficiency. ' ’

They define popular employees as submissive, humble, trustworthy and compassionate.

The study found that women are most likely to show a welcome personality, which may be one reason for the gender income gap.

Popular employees are more likely to succeed in team work, but have three negative effects on their personal performance.

The study found that ' first of all, helping others may reduce individual productivity, and secondly, a popular employee may not be able to make real progress when asking for a raise. ' Again, popular employees may enter less stable, less-paid jobs. ’

Ana Nuevo-chiquero of Shelfid University read the results of the study at the annual meeting of the 2015 Royal Economic Society in Manchester, a joint study with Australian and Spanish academics.

They analyzed the individual quality and level of work of New South Wales, State Of University students in laboratory conditions, and also analyzed a large number of academic reports on individual quality and remuneration.

The study found that while conscientious and emotionally stable employees earn more, they can jeopardize their careers if they are too outspoken.

While being candid with colleagues suggests that this person is a good-natured, inquisitive and imaginative employee, it makes them less likely to follow the rules and cause them to get into trouble in a formal workplace.

The researchers associate the neurotic with mood swings and unpredictability, which can also affect performance because such employees often lack confidence and security.
