GMAT-Argu-21
Studies have found that employees of not-for-profit organizations and charities are often more highly motivated than employees of for-profit corporations to perform well at work when their performance is not being monitored or evaluated. Interviews with employees of not-for-profit organizations suggest that the reason for their greater motivation is the belief that their work helps to improve society. Because they believe in the importance of their work, they have personal reasons to perform well, even when no financial reward is present. Thus, if our corporation began donating a significant portion of its profits to humanitarian causes, our employees’ motivation and productivity would increase substantially and our overall profits would increase as well.
1. 题目翻译
,非盈利性慈善机构的员工们士气要比那些盈利性机构的更高。对非盈利性机构的员工采访揭示了之所以的原因是因为他们认为他们的工作促进了社会发展。真是因为他们相信他们工作的重要性,所以他们一直在竭尽全力,即便没有任何回报。因此,如果我们公司开始把我们利润的一大部分捐给人道主义机构,我们员工的热情和生产力将会提高,同时我们的利润也将会提升。
2. 本题逻辑错误分析
a) 作者的调查不一定得到了关于非盈利组织士气高的真实原因。因为作者在访问中所使用的样本数量有限,因此未必反映了真实的情况,所以调查结论可能会出现错误。即使调查反映的情况是可靠的,作者将利润捐献出去的建议也未必能提高士气。因为员工每天面对的仍然是工厂里的流水线和机器,而不是慈善组织人员所面对的慈善机构。因此员工可能未必能感受到这份动力,因为利润也未必有所上升。
b) 即使建议是有效的,我们也不一定要采纳。首先,捐出去的利润是一大笔钱,因而这个风险是极大的,随之而来的负面影响也未必能让公司所能承受;其次,可能有其他更好的方式来提高员工的积极性,比如颁发奖金给表现很好的员工。因此我们未必需要采纳作者的建议。
