Why Do People Brown-Nose on the Job?
Sometimes when employees are not confident
in their own skills or accomplishments, they feel they must resort to
"cheating." Instead of concentrating on how to improve work habits,
he/she attempts to cut corners by doing obvious things to seek approval from
the boss. Some people suck up to their superiors simply because they're lazy,
and don't really want to take on extra responsiblities. Office politics can be
pretty tricky at times. It can be difficult to ascertain one's motives. For the
most part, brown-nosing is the easy way to get out of doing the research and
hard work to be a more efficient employee.
Why Do Others Accuse Colleagues of
Brown-Nosing?
Ironically, co-workers sometimes accuse
others of brown-nosing for the same reason that people brown-nose to begin
with. Colleagues who are disgruntled with their jobs (or even their personal
lives) will sometimes accuse a hard-working employee of attempting to show up
the rest of the team. They will accuse the employee of being a show-off or
brown-noser because they are feeling inadequate regarding their own work
performance or skills. Those who make these accusations may hope that by doing
so, that their colleague will ease up a little---and even out the status quo.
But some people are simply spiteful, and get their kicks out of riling up
others.
What's the Difference Between
Brown-Nosing and Doing a Good Job?
Most often, the accusation of being a
brown-noser itself is subjective, and usually belongs to one person. If a group
of people takes on this opinion, then there may be some underlying issues at
hand. To a person on the outside looking in, it may be difficult to determine
whether a person is genuinely attempting to do an efficient job, or is simply
doing so for the sake of managerial praise.
There is nothing wrong with seeking the
approval of others (especially employment superiors)-as long as it is not at
the expense of coworkers or yourself. If you're being accused of sucking up to
the boss, pay attention to where the accusations are coming from. If there is
just one person spreading this information, confront him/her quietly and ask
what kind of problem he/she has with your performance. Sometimes confronting
the person is enough to cease the spill of bad blood. More importantly, ask
yourself if you take the opportunity to point out the good deeds of others. The
term "team player" gets tossed around in hundreds of companies for a
reason. Managers are usually very aware of who the "butt kissers"
really are. But they typically bestow praise upon the employees who are
respected the most by coworkers. (voices.yahoo.com)
