Being in charge has its benefits: More money, more control, more power, and apparently, more job satisfaction.
Recently the Pew Research Center released data from a survey that found bosses are happier than workers in their jobs. 69% of the people in management positions from the survey said they were satisfied with their current positions, compared with just 48% of rank-and-file(普通的)workers. The manager respondents were also more likely than non-managers to say they consider their work a career rather than merely a job(78% vs. 44%)and were much less likely to be looking for a job than those who don’t manage others(12% vs. 23%). They’ re also more likely to be happy with their lives outside of work, to feel they’ re paid fairly for what they do, and to think having children hasn’ t been a hindrance to their advancement.
While those numbers may not be surprising given the age, greater income and longer careers of those typically in management, the report did find that both managers and non-managers value the exact same things(and in the exact same order)when considering a job. Enjoyable work comes first, followed by job security and then the ability to take time off to care for family. Similarly low numbers of participants cited a big salary(just 20% of bosses and 18% of workers)and opportunities for advancement(25% vs. 24%)as being important, despite presumably different access to each.
Also surprising, says Rich Morin, senior editor of Pew’ s Social & Demographic Trends project , was how similar numbers of bosses and employees considered problems such as gender discrimination to be a social issue. 62% of managers and 66% of workers agree that the country needs to make changes to solve gender inequality(不平等)issues in the workplace. "It wasn’ t a case of big bad bosses and exploited workers," Morin says. "That was an optimistic finding. On these important issues, they think alike. "
Perhaps most notable, meanwhile, is that despite the greater satisfaction and lower stress associated with being in charge, fewer people want to become managers than not. Just 39% of people responding to Pew’ s study said they would like such a position: 43% said they wouldn’ t.(The remaining 18% included those who were already managers and a few who didn’ t answer.)" Some people simply don’ t want the headaches that come with being a boss, and some simply don’ t want the long hours," Morin says, acknowledging the contradiction between that statement and Pew’ s findings. For many, it seems, the satisfaction that comes from greater control and more money simply doesn’ t outweigh the potential perils(危险)of being the one in charge. [br] What can we learn about Pew’ s finding on gender inequality in the workplace?
选项
A、The country has made little effort to solve this problem.
B、Bosses and workers had been expected to differ in their attitudes toward this issue.
C、Bosses and workers had been expected to think alike on some unimportant issues.
D、Bad bosses tend to exploit male workers rather than female workers.
答案
B
解析
根据题干中的关键词Pew’s finding,gender inequality,workplace,将本题定位于第4段。该段提到,皮尤社会与人口趋势项目的高级编辑里奇-莫林说,同样令人惊奇的是几乎同等数量的老板和员工认为性别歧视等问题是重要的社会问题。62%的管理者和66%的员工都同意国家做出改变来解决职场上的性别不平等问题。故答案为B(人们以为老板和员工对待这个问题的态度会不一样)。对于A项,原文提到,老板和员工都希望国家能够改变这种情况,但没有说国家在这方面没有做出努力,故排除;C项与D项,原文均未提到,故排除。
