If two co-workers exhibit different workplace behaviours, dopamine may be the cause.
For example if one is a go-getter and the other is slack and laid back, according to a recent study it may be due to dopamine levels being in different parts of the brain.
For the brain imaging study, researchers used 25 healthy volunteers age 18-29 to determine their willingness to work for money.
The participants were asked to perform different tasks worth $1 to $4.
Those who worked hard for rewards had a higher release of dopamine in one part of the brain, while those who didn't had a higher release in another part.
