Cost of To Being Nice !!

This document discusses agreeable and disagreeable personality types and their suitability for different job situations. It finds that while agreeableness is beneficial for jobs requiring social skills like customer service, it can hurt performance for leadership roles requiring risk-taking. Additionally, it notes research showing agreeableness negatively impacts men's earnings more than women's, possibly due to social expectations viewing leadership as a masculine trait. Overall, the best employees match their personality to their organization's culture, and gender should not determine work performance.

In some research we’ve conducted, we’ve found that the negative effects of agreeableness on
earnings are stronger for men than for women (that is, being agreeable hurt men’s earnings more
than women’s).Why do you think this might be the case?

As, there is a difference of nature of both man and woman, man are born as leaders and strong,
while woman are more social and caring.
Agreeableness is known as a feminine feature. A man being to kind can be misunderstood by
the society as feminization.

Men should hold more power than women. This only shows the degree of being
agreeable really hurts men because of them misconception and judgments of
the society.
