“Ethical blindness”
When loyal employees are exploited
Hard-working employees are often assigned additional work.
A Duke University study found that loyal employees are more likely to be taken advantage of by their employers. You can find out how this comes about here.
Do you constantly work overtime, and as soon as new tasks arise in the company, you take them on without receiving adequate remuneration? Then you are an extremely loyal employee. As your superiors notice this commitment, they increasingly give you more responsibility. This phenomenon is also known as “ethical blindness.”
Loyal employees are often put under greater strain
A study by Duke University in America looked into this issue and found that loyal employees are often placed under greater strain without their employers being aware of it. For more details on this study, see the video below.
