According to a survey conducted by the Research Center SuperJob.ru, 85 percent of Russians are not friends with their bosses during work. The survey, which included 3000 respondents from regions across Russia, shows that many Russians feel that subordination in the workplace is necessary for productivity.

Furthermore, 35 percent of respondents said that strict business-like relations should be maintained with one's boss, since this prevents distraction and guarantees efficiency. In their opinion, more familiar relations end up causing a wide array of problems that are then reflected in the workplace. Respondents older than 50 were most likely to support this opinion (46 percent). 33 percent of men held this opinion, and 37 percent of women.

50 percent of respondents said they were on friendly terms with their boss, but only outside of work. Of these, about the same percent of men and women (52 percent and 49 percent) responded that normal human relations can develop between people in a business environment.

According to 14 percent of respondents, a warm work atmosphere makes people closer and is a positive factor for effective work. Those under the age of 20 were most likely to hold this point of view (26 percent).

Only 1 percent of respondents emphasized the advantages of maintaining friendly relationships at work.
