quiet virtue: the conscientious
the everyday signs of conscientiousness (认真尽责)—being punctual, careful in doing work, selfdisciplined, and scrupulous (一丝不苟的) in attending to responsibilities—are typical characteristics of the model organizational citizen, the people who keep things running as they should. they follow the rules, help out, and are concerned about the people they work with. it's the conscientious worker who helps newcomers or updates people who return after an absence, who gets to work on time and never abuses stick leaves, who always gets things done on deadline.
conscientiousness is a key to success in any field. in studies of job performance, outstanding effectiveness for almost all jobs，from semiskilled labor to sales and management, depends on conscientiousness. it is particularly important for outstanding performance in jobs at the lower levels of an organization: the secretary whose message taking is perfect, the delivery truck driver who is always on time.
among sales representatives for a large american car manufacture, those who were most conscientious had the largest volume of sales. conscientiousness also offers a buffer (缓冲) against the threat of job loss in today's constantly changing market, because employees with this quality are among the most valued. for the sales representatives, their level of conscientiousness mattered almost as much as their sales in determining who stayed on.
