IMO, lurking in their minds is: What is this employee's absolute priority? Is it the bottom line of the company or is it taking their kids to school and helping with their homework and building treehouses? What will be the employee's top priority on a day to day basis? If I am cost constrained, who should I choose? Who is loyal to me? Who is predictable and reliable? Now it is possible that smarter or more productive employees can change the rules of their priority list and still get more done than the person putting in the hours, but I think that is the exception.
