In a study of Americans took part in 269 employees of 25 different companies. For each rating was made ​​to work, then managers to offer their estimate. Each rating was taken into account more than 35 skills of the employee. Researchers found that the best perform their duties honestly and modest staff.

Now shift work is recognized not only safe but also beneficial. It will help protect women against skin cancer. For 18 years, doctors have seen almost 11,000 cases of skin cancer among the 68,000 nurses who are forced to work in night shifts. The night shift was less dangerous. Women working in shifts over 10 years, fell ill with skin cancer at least 44%. Less likely to suffer cancer and women with black hair.

Moreover, husbands of blond beauties richer those who are married to women with dark hair, is 6%. Not believed their own conclusions, scientists decided to conduct a new study, and this time omitted the factors such as height, weight and level of education. But even here the blonde appeared ahead. Explain the phenomenon, researchers have been unable to. But their colleagues from the University of California found that blondes are more aggressive and arrogant. They have attracted more attention than other women, and actively use it. Perhaps this is why and to seek career success easier for them than Brown or red.

Scientists, psychologists evaluated as the appearance of a child from a gay affect his attitude to career, lifestyle, as well as relationships with partners and the degree of self-esteem. Willingness to abandon work for the sake of the baby was the only difference between gay men. In relations with staff at work-dad gay dad and heterosexual is no different.

But experts do not rule out that the name affects the character and qualifications of the candidate. Waist size determines the amount of wages sociological study, published in Journal of Applied Psychology, shows that waist size is directly related to the size of the salary. The American woman must be thin, and the man must have extra weight to get a raise. Psychologically, these people have more confidence of employers and employees look better. It turns out the American, who weighs 12 pounds less than her colleague, is likely to have an average salary of more than 15,572 to the dollar in the year. Women, characterized by curvaceous, so that their weight is above the average around the office and per 12 kg at risk will receive 13 thousand dollars less.

Envious employees worsen the atmosphere in the workplace experts at Pennsylvania State University, Montclair State University in the USA and Culture Contents Center of South Korea, having observations among 233 employees of the hotel business have come to the conclusion that the envious workers may spoil the friendly atmosphere in the workplace. Moreover, over time this can lead to the fact that the scope of services shall be turned into a hostile area for customers. It turned out that envy affects not only the relations of subordination and the employer. Envious fewer employees to help their colleagues in the performance of general duties. Because these employees often have personal contact with guests, who lives in a hotel becomes the innocent victim of a negative atmosphere in the workplace, experts say.
