A study conducted by the Institute for Operations Research and the Management Sciences reveals a pronounced correlation between physical attractiveness and career success. Analyzing data from over 40,000 MBA graduates, the research determined that visually appealing individuals earn notably higher salaries—up to 11% more than their less attractive counterparts. This 'beauty premium' not only influences salaries but also enhances job title achievements and stability over time, suggesting that conventional beauty can shape one's professional trajectory significantly.
The researchers describe this effect as the 'beauty premium'... attractive respondents earned up to 11 percent more than their colleagues who were seen as less good looking.
'These findings reveal a persistent and compounding effect of beauty in professional settings,' said Professor Nikhil Malik, who led the study.
