People who are loyal employees tend to earn more，according to the first large-scale study of loyalty and earnings，according to new research.

首次针对忠诚度和收入的大规模研究表明，忠诚的员工往往赚得更多。

The difference loyalty made to earnings was equivalent to the additional salary given for having an extra year of experience.

忠诚度造成的收入上的差异，几乎同那些工作经验多一年的员工增加的薪水相同。

Previous research has found that worker loyalty lowers labor turnover costs and improves customer service，but this study claims it benefits employees too.

过去的研究已经证明，员工忠诚度能减少人员流动成本，并提高顾客服务质量。该项研究还发现，这对员工本身亦有好处。

Michigan State University researchers surveyed 10，800 employees in former socialist countries that introduced capitalist economies in the 1990s.The researchers surveyed employees from 2005 to 2011 in six culturally and economically diverse countries： Armenia， Azerbaijan， Kazakstan， Kyrgyzstan， Russia and Serbia.

密歇根州立大学的研究者们调查了10800位前社会主义国家现为资本主义国家的员工。在2005年到2011年间，研究者们调查了包括亚美尼亚、阿塞拜疆、哈萨克斯坦、吉尔吉斯斯坦、俄罗斯和塞尔维亚等6个在文化，经济上都相当多元化的国家的员工。

Loyalty was measured by workplace seniority;whether the employee would turn down an offer of slightly more money to change jobs; and whether the employee was committed to and engaged with the company.

忠诚度是由办公室里的老资格们衡量的。衡量标准包括该员工是否会拒绝更高报酬的offer，以及该员工是否会坚持和公司在一起。

Workers were more likely to be loyal if they expected to earn a bonus or learn new skills. In addition，loyalty was higher among employees who expected that doing their job well would result in job security and the feeling that they were accomplishing something worthwhile.

期待获得奖金或学到新技能的员工往往会更忠诚。此外，那些希望通过努力工作来增加工作稳定性的员工以及实现了自我价值的员工也会更忠诚。

Praise from senior managers，however，was not always positively linked to worker loyalty. Managers might have more success by offering the workers a chance to learn new skills， which can contribute to their sense of better job security or desire for more job autonomy.

有时上级主管的表扬未必会对员工的忠诚度有所贡献。相反，如果管理者们能为员工提供一个学习新技能的机会，而这种机会恰好让他们感到自身工作不断稳定，同时自主性越来越强，他们就能获得更大的成功。
