A good relationship with the boss pays off
研究发现，与管理者保持高质量信任关系的员工通常获得更高绩效评分，且评分不受共事时间影响；而关系疏远的员工只有在长期共事时才可能获得高分。
The article discusses research pertaining to the impact of superior-subordinate relationship on performance appraisals. The study revealed that employees in high-quality, trusting relationships with managers generally received higher ratings. The ratings were not influenced by the length of time the employee worked for the manager. Employees who were in more distant, low-quality relationships received high ratings only when the relationship was long term. It was also discovered that ratings on more subjective criteria, such as dependability and trustworthiness, were more heavily influenced by the quality and duration of the relationship.
