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 does the author think about the finding that managers have more job satisfaction?
选项
A、It is surprising given the headaches that come with being a boss.
B、It is reasonable since managers are easier to be satisfied.
C、It is surprising given the long working hours.
D、It is reasonable since managers tend to be older.
答案
D
解析
根据题干中的关键词author,managers,more job satisfaction,将本题定位于第3段。该段开头提到,考虑到管理岗位上的人的年龄、较多的收入和较长的职业生涯,这些数字不足为奇。可见,管理者的工作满意度更大,跟以上三个因素有关,分析选项,故答案为D(由于管理者往往年龄更大,所以这是合理的)。对于A项和C项,原文是not surprising,而非surprising,故排除;B项说管理者更容易感到满足,原文并未提及,故排除。
