Sixth-tier commoners frequently end their friendships with a coworker upon his promotion to a leadership role.
In a recent survey conducted among Nizhny Novgorod residents, an interesting pattern emerged regarding the relationship between employees and their managers.
While 22% of the participants reported having friendly relations with their managers, a significant 32% expressed concerns that such friendships could hinder their work. Contrastingly, 42% of the respondents believed that friendly relationships with management were beneficial for their work.
Interestingly, women in Nizhny Novgorod were more likely to describe their relationship with their manager as friendly, but men were more likely to believe that such friendships would contribute positively to their work.
However, it's important to note that there is a lack of specific data on how Nizhny Novgorod residents perceive the impact of friendly relationships with managers on work performance, or how this perception varies by gender, age, and income.
While general organisational behaviour research suggests that positive, friendly relationships with managers tend to be associated with better employee satisfaction and improved performance, the absence of region-specific data makes any definitive statements about local perceptions or demographic variations speculative.
The SuperJob service did conduct a survey among Nizhny Novgorod residents about their colleagues being appointed as managers, but no direct data on the impact of friendly relationships was provided.
However, some intriguing trends did emerge from the survey. For instance, among those who are friends with their manager, 8 out of 10 believe it benefits their work. Younger workers (under 45) are more likely to have friendly relations with management, and the majority of them believe that such relationships are beneficial.
Employees with lower incomes (less than 50,000 rubles) are more likely to be friends with their manager and believe it positively affects their work. On the other hand, those who earn 100,000 rubles or more are most likely to succeed in maintaining warm relations after a promotion.
Interestingly, men in Nizhny Novgorod are more confident about maintaining friendships with their promoted colleagues. When a colleague is promoted to manager, 62% of Nizhny Novgorod residents believe that the friendship can still be maintained, but 16% believe that the friendship is over.
In conclusion, while the survey results suggest a complex relationship between friendly relationships with managers and work performance in Nizhny Novgorod, further research is needed to fully understand these dynamics and how they vary by demographics.
Financial careers may be influenced by the nature of the relationship between employees and their managers in Nizhny Novgorod, as the survey reveals that friendships with managers contribute positively to work performance for a majority of employees under 45, those with lower incomes, and men in the region. Additionally, leadership roles in business could benefit from understanding the impact of friendly relationships on employee satisfaction and performance, as such relationships seem to be a factor influencing career advancement and success in Nizhny Novgorod.
