Necessity for personal growth determines high performance in a work environment through multi-dimensional factors such as satisfaction with work, co-workers, management, career growth prospects in both short and long term and employers’ vision and mission leading to organizational out-performance. However people who have no such necessity for growth end up with low performance bordering around devious ways of going up the ladder by means other than merit such as sycophancy etc. Need for personal growth is therefore an essential part of one’s career.
