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 from the last paragraph?
选项
A、The stress associated with being in charge is overestimated.
B、Workers are more likely to feel confused about their work.
C、More control and money can lead to trouble.
D、Managers tend to be in dangerous situations.
答案
A
解析
根据题干中的关键词last paragraph,将本题定位于最后一段。该段提到,做管理人员与高满足感和低压力相关,但是很少有人想成为管理人员;因为一些人不想做那些当老板做的麻烦事,也有一些人不想长时间工作,所以做管理人员与压力高低是没有多大关系的。可见人们夸大了做管理人员的压力,故答案为A(人们夸大了做管理人员的压力)。对于B项,文中没有提到人们对于工作的疑惑,故排除;对于C项,更多的控制力和金钱会招致麻烦,原文并未提及,属于过度推断,故排除;对于D项,文中最后说做管理人员存在潜在的危险,但并不是真的会经常处于险境,故排除。
