To be Humble or Modest? What counts most in job performance? One’s real personality shines bright when they are caught in a pickle at work, as they begin hoping for the best outcome while doing the right thing. As a consequence, they remind themselves of their inner values and beliefs and put in the effort to best diffuse the situation. That being said, are there certain such attributes that could negatively boost work performance? When it comes to being humble and modest, both are supposedly excellent virtues to have as an employee. But, in the long run, does one attribute accelerate job performance more than the other? Professor He Peng, School of Management Fudan University, takes on the challenge to scrutinize these two constructs on the different dimensions of job performance.
