白領“要加薪” “惡人”更吃香

The phrase "Nice guys finish last" appears to be the case in who gets paid the most.
“好人沒好報”這句話用來解釋企業中誰的工資高真是再合適不過了。

According to a study by several researches, "agreeable" workers make significantly lower than their less agreeable counterparts, with the gap being wider among men.
有關調查結果顯示，“好”員工的工資要遠低於“壞”員工，並且差距在一步步拉大。

The study, titled "Do Nice Guys—and Gals—Really Finish Last?", used survey data to examine "agreeableness" and found that men who disagreed far greater make 18%- or $9,772 annually- more in salary than those who agree. The salary disparity is far less among women, with disagreeable females making 5% or $1,828 than those who agree more.
這一研究被定名爲“好人真的沒好報嗎？”，其結果顯示，口碑不佳的僱員賺的錢要比口碑上佳者高出18%——差不多年均要高出9772美元。這一差距在女性中相對來說還比較低，只拉開了5%的差距，即年均1828美元。

Cornell professor Beth A. Livingston, who co-authored the study with Timothy A. Judge of the University of Notre Dame and Charlice Hurst of the University of Western Ontario, told the Wall Street Journal, "Nice guys are getting the shaft.
這項調查的研究者表示，“好人的確是沒好報。”

"The problem is, many managers often don't realize they reward disagreeableness," Livingston added. "You can say this is what you value as a company, but your compensation system may not really reflect that, especially if you leave compensation decisions to individual managers."
“問題在於，很多經營者並不清楚自己嘉獎的對象是所謂的‘不堪者’。”“你可以說你是在代表公司做決定，但實際工作中的獎懲制度在具體的經營者做決定時確得不到體現。”

The study contained data from over 20 years from three different surveys, and interviewed 10,000 workers from a wide range of fields. The researchers also included a separate study based on 460 business students asked to be fictional managers and review descriptions of possible employees. That separate study revealed that being nice does not bring professional success, as those viewed as more agreeable were less likely to get the job.
這一調查用到了20年間的3個調查所蒐集到的數據，採訪各行各業逾10000人。同時，調查者們還進行了另外一項調查，他們採訪了460名商學學生，讓他們假設自己是一名經理，然後讓他們去查閱前來應聘“員工”們的簡歷，結果顯示，善良並不能給人們帶來職業上的發展，因爲這些看上去相當“老好人”的應聘者根本就不會被錄用。
