It is logical to suppose that things like good labor relations, good working conditions, good wages and benefits, and job security motivate workers. But one expert, Frederick Herzberg argued that such conditions do not motivate workers, they are merely satisfiers. Motivators, in contrast, include things such as having a challenging and interesting job, recognition and responsibility. However, even with the development of computers and robotics, there are always plenty of boring, repetitive and mechanical jobs, and lots of unskilled people who have to do them. So how do managers motivate people in such jobs? One solution is to give them some responsibilities, not as individuals, but as part of a team. For example, some supermarkets combine office staff, the people who fill the shelves, and the people who work at the checkout into a team. And let them decide what product lines to stock, how to display them, and so on. Many people now talk about the importance of a company shared values or culture, with which all the staff can identify. For example, being the best hotel chain, or making the .best, the most user friendly, or the most reliable products in a particular field. Such values are more likely to motivate workers than financial targets, which ultimately only concern a few people. Unfortunately, there is only a limited number of such goals to go around. And by definition, not all the competing companies in an industry can seriously play in to be the best.
Questions:
What can actually motivate workers according to Frederick Herzberg?
What does the speaker say about jobs in the computer era?
What do some supermarkets do to motivate their employees?
Why does the speaker say financial targets are less likely to motivate workers?

选项 A、Offer them chances of promotion.
B、Improve their working conditions.
C、Encourage them to compete with each other.
D、Give them responsibilities as part of a team.

答案D

解析 Question: What do some supermarkets do to motivate their employees?
本题是细节题。本题询问超市如何激励员工努力工作。在文中激励超市员工工作是作者引用的一个事例,但是问题本身针对的是总结性的答案。即出现在for example前的总结句:Give them some responsibilities,not as individuals.but as a part of a team.(分给他们责任,不是把他们作为单个的个人,而是作为团队的一部分)。关键词responsibilities,team都出现在选项D中。A是说提供给员工升职的机会;B是说改善工作环境;C是说鼓励员工与他人竞争,文中均未提及。
