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、They will not bring real benefits to the staff.
B、They concern a small number of people only.
C、They are arbitrarily set by the administrators.
D、They are beyond the control of ordinary workers.

答案B

解析 Question: Why does the speaker say financial targets are less likely to motivate workers?
本题是细节题。本题询问为什么金钱诱惑刺激不了工作热情。答案出现在结尾处Such values are more likely to motivate workers than financial targets,which ultimately only concern a few people.(团队精神更能激起工作热情,因为金钱利益最终只会与团队中的个别人相关)。B选项是原文only concern a few people的同义转述。A是说它不能给员工带来真正的利益;C是说它是由管理层独断设立的;D是说它超出了一般员工的掌控,文中均未提及。
