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、Job security.
B、Good labour relations.
C、Challenging work.
D、Attractive wages and benefits.

答案C

解析 Question: What can actually motivate workers according to Frederick Herzberg?
本题是细节题。本题询问到底什么可以真正激励员工努力工作呢。原文提到Motivators,in contrast,include things such as having a challenging and interesting job,recognition and responsibility.(与之相对,起激励作用的包括富有挑战性和趣味性的工作,赞誉以及责任感)。A是说工作安全性;B是说好的工作关系;D是说高薪和福利。这三项在文章第一句话中出现,但Frederick Herzberg认为这些do not motivate workers(并不能激励员工)。
