We live in a competitive world now. Everywhere there is competition. Even countries are competing with each other at various levels. So, it is but natural, that at workplace also one faces competition.
What is workplace competition all about?
An employer judges an employee on the basis of his or performance levels. An employee is evaluated in comparison with other employees. In order to go up the ladder of success the employee has to show better results than his or her co-employee. His or output at work has to be of higher level than others in order to get a promotion or a pay hike. If he or she performs well, then he or she is compensated well monetarily.
Management encourages competition in order to motivate employees and get better results from them in work matters. Even in sports, one athlete is competing with another athlete to win the race. The same principle applies in work place. Every employee wants to be in the good books of his or her employer. By performing well he or she wins his or her appreciation.
