本科毕业论文(设计)外文翻译外文题目Staff training rated ‘absolutely pivotal’外文出处Knowledge training,2008(10):p46-47外文作者 Olivia原文:Staff training rated ‘absolutely pivotal’OliviaAs a recent survey reveals the importance that job seekers attach to an organization’s commitment to training, Olivia Hemmings talks to three companies whose investment in their staff is resulting in higher productivity, increased profits and better staff retention.For some job hunters, salary is the main consideration, while for others it is flexible working hours or even location. However, one prospect that unites 90% of travel industry job seekers is the promise of training and development, according to a survey by Abta and People 1st, the sector skills council for the hospitality. leisure travel and tourism industries.And it is easy to understand why. For the applicant, a company's commitment to staff training and development means a likely improvement in their performance, leading to progression up the career ladder.What is surprising, therefore, is that training is provided only by 43% of employers to all their staff each year, by 36% to most employees and by 19% to some. Two per cent of the survey's respondents said they provided no training or ongoing development at all. But three companies that do make significant investment in staff training — and are reaping the rewards — are Thomas Cook, Bales Worldwide and STA.THOMAS COOKWhat training is available?At Thomas Cook, overseas resorts staffs are given training from day one. Before departing the UK, they attend an eight-day residential induction to be taught the basic skills and behaviors they need to be a company representative. Once in resort, they receive up to 12 on-the-job training days before becoming a fully-fledged rep.But training doesn't stop there. Elinor Carr, learning and development manager for Thomas Cook holiday division, says it offers overseas resort staff a clear progressionpath.In fact, regular training sessions are delivered throughout the season and staffs are presented with a range of development opportunities, including Stars, the Senior Training and Recognition Scheme.This training initiative has career progression at its core. Split into three levels, the scheme aims to train up frontline staff to first-line management, then second-line management and finally resort management level, using rigorous training courses. Employees who successfully complete all three levels can then consider the Overseas Management Development Programme (OMDP} if they wish to learn about the wider Thomas Cook business.For this programme, managers attend courses in the UK and complete operational and management modules. Operational modules teach managers about yield management and explain the commercial factors driving the business. The management and leadership modules look at the individual's management style and personality and assess what impact they have on their leadership.Most companies are poor at developing their executives, and most of them acknowledge this: only 3 percent of the 6,000 executives occupying the top 200 positions at 50 large US corporations examined by a recent McKinsey survey strongly agreed that their organizations developed talent quickly and effectively.1 In no area of executive development—job rotation, traditional internal and external training, or mentoring—did a majority of these executives believe that their employers were doing a good job (Exhibit 1).Some companies feel that their high performers will rise to the top naturally, like cream. Others, believing that talent can be bought, try to recruit executives from such sources as General Electric, a famous developer of people. In fact, though businesses should look for senior-level talent outside their own organizations, they themselves must also be good at developing it. In the first place, as talent becomes scarcer—and demography suggests that it will—the "buy-only" strategy becomes risky and expensive. Moreover, recruiting all of a company's senior executives externally sacrifices cultural cohesion and institutional memory. In any case, companies thatcan't develop their own talent find it hard to attract good people from the outside.Job experience drives executive developmentCompanies develop executives in various ways: by giving them feedback, coaching, mentoring, and training. But more than anything else, executives need on-the-job experience in appropriate positions. What makes positions appropriate? Four considerations are crucial.The first is the way a job is structured: the executive who holds it should have both headroom (authority and responsibility) and elbow room (scope and variety). Organizations that are decentralized or that have many "P&L jobs"—in which the holder's decisions are linked to, and measured by, the company's profit or loss—therefore create more opportunities for development than organizations that do not.Second, people with high potential should move through a series of challenging jobs, for after two or three years the learning curve in any position tends to flatten out, and capable people start to chafe. How long any one person should stay put varies with the business, the extent of the challenge, and that person's ability to grow. One company's line executive held 18 positions in 24 years, and though not everyone can or should move so quickly, companies tend to leave executives in jobs much too long. Third, this series of jobs should provide a range of challenges. Working in different geographic regions or with a variety of bosses requires executives to master new contexts. Leading a turnaround, stimulating a stagnant business, and influencing a company from a staff position draw on different skills.Finally, executives need to learn their craft from highly skilled colleagues as well as superiors. The ability to lead can in part be acquired through apprenticeship, and apprentices learn more from world-class experts and leaders than from mediocre ones. Success, moreover, breeds success, so good people are likelier to stay with an organization that has many other good people.Why does Cook invest in training?"We're a people business. We put them at the top of our agenda," explains Phil Bamfather, head of learning and development for Thomas Cook holiday and central.He says well-trained staff are "absolutely pivotal" in the company's success.Phil says that the skills, knowledge and understanding that come with training also increase organizational performance, such as sales and service delivery targets, as well as employee satisfaction.Elinor adds that it's important that staff can see how they add value and that the business is interested in investing in them. She says programmes such as Stars help ensure staff stay within the business and are promoted from within."Staff retention is one benefit of our training scheme," she explains.It also helps Cook with succession planning, when people move up or out of one area of the business and into another.BLAES WORLSWIDEWhat training is available?Susan Rock, inhouse training coordinator at Bales, gives new sales employees six to eight weeks of dedicated one-to-one training.First, new sales and operational staff are introduced to the company's written standards and its brochures. They are then taught about the reservations system Galileo, airline contracts and how to make quotes and take bookings. By the end of the course, the trainees are taking calls and doing the job under supervision.Bales also places a great deal of importance on the need for ongoing development of its staff through product and sales training. Product training involves at least two overseas trips every year for sales staff to gain in-depth knowledge of the destinations. On each trip they can visit up to 10 locations.Sales training is delivered by an external training company which runs three full-day, off-the-job training sessions each year- Training sessions can vary from phone skills to communication techniques that convey conviction in the product.The role of job experience in driving growth is fairly well understood. Thus, it is striking that only 10 percent of the 6,000 executives McKinsey surveyed thought that their companies used job assignments effectively. The problem is that the people who control the process—senior line executives—don't adequately factor development into their decisions. A division president naturally finds it safer to appoint an experienced,highly qualified candidate to a key position than to take a chance and stretch a possible future leader. Furthermore, that division president might not know how to use job experience to develop people: in the McKinsey survey, 48 percent of human-resources executives said that most executives think development is simply a function of training programs.Except for action learning and early training in managerial skills, training programs just are not capable of producing truly great executivessuch programs are often favored because they are highly visible, as well as simple to create and run, and by establishing them an HR department can show that it is doing its bit to nurture people. But with two exceptions—action learning, built around real work projects, to a small group of promising people, and in fact result in action. One project in a GE executive development course required a team to assess the company's investment strategy in South Korea. After four weeks partly spent in that country, the team presented its recommendations to GE's top 28 executives, who based the company's investment decisions largely on those recommendations.Why does Bales invest in staff training?Vivienne Thorn, human resources director at Bales, regards staff training as the future of die company."In all strategic plans for a company and where it's going, you have to include staff training so they can deliver. It's integral to meeting business objectives," she says. Offering the highest level of customer service is a key business objective at Bales. Thom says ensuring staff have the skills to carry this out is one of the reasons behind their "tremendous" investment in employee training.Rock says the training programme also ensures consistent practice across staff. "The benefits of our one-to-one training is the speed at which we can get trainees up to the standards we want, and the learning process is consistent for everyone," she says.The intensive induction has other benefits, says Thom. These include staff making fewer mistakes, feeling supported in their role and "going that little bit extra".In terms of sales achievements. Bales conversion rates have risen from 20% in2004 to 29% last year, and customer complaints have reduced.STA TRAVELWhat training is available?Inconsistencies in induction and management training in the past recently prompted STA to overhaul its training to bring all branches in line with one another. STA offers an informative induction programme and an ongoing development scheme for staff, plus specialist training.The scope of training is now regularly adapted to meet staffs changing needs, and often it is in response to employee feedback.The induction process is an intensive three-week programme that includes basic geography, plus lessons about the company's systems. Presentations are also given by other department heads about the activity they oversee, providing new recruits with an overall company picture. In the second week, inductees spend one day with their branch, shadowing consultants and learning about the booking process. The third week is given over to sales techniques.Trainees are then put into a branch for seven weeks where the branch manager will guide them through other processes and teach them the additional skills they require. Elsewhere, management personnel are also offered a varied learning programme, with training about how to hold a meeting, setting objectives, getting the most out of staff, driving sales and time management.A new initiative in STA's training portfolio is a personal leadership programme which is open to branch managers as well as senior staff. The three-day course aims to provide the leadership and communication skills necessary for managers be able to take owner-ship of a problem and deal with it, rather than refer it to their manager. Why does STA invest in staff training?Catherine Wilson, STA's human resources director, says the company tries to establish its targets as a business, and then provides its people with the skills to achieve them.As well as having increased knowledge to drive sales, Wilson believes training helps to engage employees by demonstrating what's expected of them. She says it alsogives them the ability to be flexible and adapt to the job."We're keen to promote that people don't just come to work for work's sake and for the money but that they come because they want to work for us as a company," she says.STA's commitment to staff investment appears to be paying off. In the past 12 months, employee turnover has been cut by 20%, and sales and revenue have also increased.译文:员工培训被评为“绝对的关键”奥利维亚由于最近的一项研究表明了求职者对公司培训员工的承诺的重视,Olivia Hemmings 告诉三家公司,它们在员工身上的投资将会获得更高的生产力,额外的利润和员工对公司更好的忠诚度。
员工培训外文文件综述第 1目1、LiteratureResearch ............................................................... .........................................................................2 2 、外文文件翻..................................................................... ................................................⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯ .51、Literature ResearchEmployee training needs theoretical guidance of staff training inthe theoretical understanding of ambiguity, will lead to blindnesstraining .The guiding theory of employee training, with the production technology, expansion of business scale and gradually developed.First, scientific management and staff skills trainingThe late 19th century, early 20th century, the United States such as Taylor and Gilbreth first to emphasize the importance of training.Taylor is the father of scientific management theory, and his major works include "piecework" system, "Plant Management", "scientific management principles and methods", "scientific management" and so on.As the results of his theory first time in history of science from theexperience up.He found that the main reason for low productivity workers are lack of training, Without the correct operation method andapplication of tools, so he carried a lot of tests in the factory. Healso studied tools, machinery, materials and standardization of the work environment, and the basis of these findings to develop more scientific work day fixed, and the completion of these fixed, standardized tools.Gilbreth also shoot video with the method of recording and analyzing the operation of the workers movement, to find the best reasonable action to improve efficiency.This time they are through the use of research, action research methods to made standard operating method, according to this standard method to train workers.Taylor said: first-class workers are not fall from the sky, is trained by scientific training, and in the past, the training is his thing, by their own plans, their implementation, and now, training is something the factory, the specialized agencies and staff, to make standardized tools and standardized methods of operation complete control by the workers, it must be systematic, scientific training, we must take the workers one by one by a qualified teacher, with the new operating practices to train until the workers are able to continuously and used to operate in accordance with scientific rules ("Principles of Scientific Management").Taylor and Gilbreth and others from the research can be seen, with their emphasis on training is the training of staff operating skills.Second, behavioral science theory and the attitude of staff trainingScientific management theories that focus on aspects of the production process, the human body as a machine accessories, arousedstrong resentment among the workers, so some scholars began to physiology, psychology, sociology and so starting to study the human enterprise work motivation, emotion, behavior and the relationship between work and so on, so how in accordance with the laws ofhuman psychological development to stimulate their enthusiasm and creativity of the behavioral sciences is adopted.30 years of the 20th century, the United States in the WesternElectric Company psychologist Mayo's Hawthorne plant belongs, for the determination of various factors on the degree of production efficiencyof thelast eight years, a series of tests, this is the famous Hawthorne Experiment .The experiment, Mayo and others found that: the working environment, working conditions, good or bad as people are notexpected to affect workers as labor productivity; people are "social" and, therefore, staff morale, job satisfaction, can be appreciated is also an important factor affecting labor productivity.In 1943, the famous American psychologist Maslow proposed "hierarchy of needs" that: human needs can be divided into five levels: (1) physiological needs; (2) safety needs; (3) the feeling of belonging; (4) respected; (5) self-realization.These five requirements are based on (1)to (5) from low to high order, and under normal circumstances, onlyin the lower level needs are met before to meet higher level needs.attitude, emotional, demand will affect the level of productivity gains, therefore, focus on skills training to employees after the theory in the behavioral sciences under the guidance of staff training to enhance knowledge, skills training, while more and more attention the attitudeof the staff training.Focus on training staff on the proper values,corporate philosophy, positive work attitude, good habits, and thepursuit of higher goals.Thus, training to become a specializedprofession, training content, constantly deepening and expanding.Since the 60s of the 20th century, people began to study theleadership style of management satisfaction with the relationshipbetween workers, making the lower staff training from a focus on staff training to focus more on the changes on the training of managers.Third, knowledge management and staff learning, innovation training 2l century is the era of knowledge economy, knowledge-based economy is built on the basis of knowledge and information economy, knowledge and information based on the production, distribution and use of thedirect basis of the economy, knowledge is to improve the productivity and economic growth.And the knowledge economy corresponding to the management theory is knowledge management, knowledge management is a knowledge resource for institutional information and the systematic management of science.The practice of knowledge management work generally consists of three aspects: (1) through the establishment of institutional knowledge base and set the body of knowledge managers need to master the knowledge and the systematic collection of resources,filtering, sorting, storage, to new knowledge in order to extract organization personnel at any time and apply them to practical work and learning; (2) to promote the exchange of knowledge within the organization and sharing, and communication process with the new knowledge resources to conduct precipitated into the body of knowledge library; (3) personalized tool to helpcustomize the management of personnel within the organization specific knowledge resources required to improve the efficiency ofwork and study, and to facilitate personal knowledge management.Era of knowledge economy, knowledge to the average 5-year aging cycle for each individual business, only continuous learning, innovation is the only way out, a lot of business decision-makers are concerned about whether their company has such a capability.Bideshengji's "The Fifth Discipline," a book stressed: "Only by learning the business will be competitive," "You have to learn than your competitors, faster."So it proposed the establishment of "learning organization."The development of information technology provides a powerful knowledge management tool, knowledge management is to create a platform for learning organizations.Learning organization is a stable platform for developing creative talent and organizational security.Because, in the era of knowledge management, the significance of employee trainingis learning ability and creative ability of the training, the ultimate goal of training is to form a self ranging from under a full learning culture.In summary, the guiding theory of corporate training experience,from scientific management to knowledge management, behavioralscience and then to the three stages of staff training has also gone through training from skills training to approach and then to learning,innovation training, three processes, factors that promote this development process the technology's progress and expansion of business scale and economy of development.2、外文文件翻译公司员工的培训工作需要必定的理论作指导,在理论上对员工培训工作认识含糊,会致使培训工作的盲目性。
中文3615字本科毕业论文(设计)外文翻译外文题目New Developments in Employee Training 外文出处Work Study外文作者Christianne Derouen, Brian H. Kleiner原文:New Developments in Employee TrainingChristianne Derouen, Brian H. KleinerIn order to accommodate the rapid technological changes, employees must mas-ter increasingly complex technical skills. Five major forces behind training becoming so important and central to any firm’s operations are as follows:(1) global and domestic competition;(2) changes in technology;(3) mergers, acquisitions and divestitures causing realignment of structures andfunctions of companies;(4) better educated workforce;(5) emergence of new occupations(computer, etc.).New training ideas are developed because trends are towards making training more practical, realistic and pertaining to employees’ jobs. Training must give em-ployees broader knowledge, enabling them effectively to utilize new technology and integrate it into the workplace. Lower costs, better quality, faster return on investment, increased productivity and long-term growth are all achieved once employees adapt to changes and are trained accordingly. In the past, training was very class-room/instructororiented. This has recently proven ineffective compared with more modern developments.Two books published in 1988[1,2] discuss many companies and modern em-ployee-training ideas which are being utilized today to keep pace with technology. The four areas addressed are:(1) aligning training strategies with corporate goals;(2) continuous learning;(3) manufacturer-user; and(4) designing and delivering training cost-effectively.Additionally, various magazine articles supplement some of the ideas discussed in the two books as well as introduce new training methods.Aligning Training Strategies with Corporate GoalsThe first type of training mentioned in the above books discusses aligning train-ing strategies with corporate goals, which is necessary because each company must evaluate what is needed for it to be competitive and successful. Once this is known, training can be applied accordingly.American Transtech, a subsidiary of AT&T, aligns its training with corporate goals by focusing its training in the following manner: managers are trained to hire their own personnel, relying less on Human Resources. Once hired, new employees go through a two-day orientation where company policy and procedures are outlined and teamwork participation is encouraged, since teamwork is an integral part of American Transtech. On completion of the orientation, the new hires are placed in groups and trained about their job and its functions with the aid of a computer. There are no instructors leading the class, so it is necessary for the teams to discuss among themselves various problems and assignments presented to them on the computer.Group training follows the employees to the workplace, where groups often meet to discuss needs and problems of the company. From this process the goals of training for the company are met. The computer/no instructor process is not mentioned very often but is a more modern way to train as computer use is so widespread. American Transtech found this method is successful in getting people to work together as well as learn together.Corning Glass Works is another company which implemented a training pro-gramme aligned with its corporate goals. Training is so important to Corning Glass that it felt the training given would directly relate to success and hopefully put it a step ahead of its competition. The corporation, with the help of outside consultants, put together a textbook about quality at Corning Glass. The training department worked hard exposing all 28,000 employees to training in product and people quality. Mid-level management was the focus of the training. The book was used as a guide-line, and the emphasis was teamwork. From the initial training, Corning Glass found problem areas which needed to be addressed in further company training courses, in-cluding interpersonal relationships and problem solving. Though use of books is byno means a modern training method, a company writing its own book for training purposes and updating as needs arise is not a commonality. Most companies rely on outside training courses.Continuous LearningMore recent trends show training going beyond “job specific” to “continuous learning”, in which the focus is on other areas of expertise within the company. In continuous learning employees are encouraged to learn and understand the jobs and skills needed of those around them and more often perform them on a regular basis. Semiautonomous work teams are most conducive in the continuous learning envi-ronment because each employee trains others in their group. This way employees know one another’s jobs and can perform them in case of an employee absence. Em-ployees begin to realize that learning and continuous training is as big a part of their job as the job itself.Training one another, or “train the trainer”, is another important aspect of con-tinuous learning. It allows employees to develop new applications and techniques and share them with their peers or supervisors.S.B. Thomas, Inc. feels there are two types of training in its continuous learning plan – social and technical task training. In social training employees are given a sec-ondary job, such as communicator, counsellor, safety officer. These secondary jobs change frequently and are minor jobs compared with the job for which they are hired, but it gives employees a “teamwork” sense of pride in productivity. Although this is not an actual training course in the truest sense, it is a training method to increase em-ployees’ morale, and good employee morale increases work output as well as inter-personal relations.The technical task training is focused on learning the job which the employee will perform. Films are used to illustrate and explain various tasks the company per-forms and those which will be undertaken by the new employee. As this is not a new development, it will not be discussed.S.B. Thomas has work teams in which members train one another. A new hire learns from a facilitator the overall job of the group in which he/she is placed. In thecourse of this, a new employee receives direction and support from a co-worker al-ready experienced in the task. Although S.B. Thomas does not focus as much on out-side training (e.g. college courses), its commitment to the in-house training and moti-vation of all employees has proved effective.Factories are also utilizing modern training ideas. They are prone to employ mul-tiskilled workers and use multipurpose machines. Factories now use flexible automa-tion – organizing the shopfloor into cells and short assembly lines. Workers in each cell must have knowledge and skills to operate a variety of machines and know prod-uct requirements. Single purpose assembly lines are a thing of the past because the ability to do more than one job increases productivity, giving companies a competi-tive advantage. Traditionally, single-skilled training was highly specialized with cen-tralized decision making. The “factory of the future” focuses on cross-training and decentralized decision making.“Communication plays a major role in ensuring tasks are learned”In order to succeed in using multiskilled employees, a factory must train imme-diately, get employees involved, and get the support of top management. Training must address many issues such as planning, operating methods, communication flows, safety, etc. Communication plays a major role in ensuring tasks are learned. Addi-tionally, stress and conflict must be overcome for employees to be most productive.Through performing a variety of functions, the employee gains task identity and skill variety, creating increased motivation, work performance and decreased absen-teeism. This is another form of continuous learning, as employees are learning not only their particular job but also those of their cellmates. This area of training has re-cently become widespread but not a major training impetus.Manufacturer-UserAnother form of training is “manufacturer-user”, which involves the vendor and sup-plier sharing ideas and information about design and implementation and having joint responsibility for training. Turning to the manufacturer for aid in training would seem a likely choice as it should know about the machine in use and its various functions. This form of training can result in more up-time, increased creative applications,manufacturer and customer satisfaction and improved design of machines. It is also a relatively inexpensive way to train because the supplier does not need to implement training programmes or hire outside consultants. Manufacturer-user training asks for a training commitment from the supplier on entering into a buying agreement; and the more co-operative and committed the vendors and users are, the more productive the training is. It is believed that this type of training, although not used extensively, will gain a foothold in the next ten years.Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company is an example of a company which initiated a manufacturer-user programme with its suppliers. It requires its suppliers to enter in-to a training agreement on award of an equipment bid. A typical training agreement with suppliers requires:●Access to supplier’s plant by training poeple from Goodyear in order to pre-pare task analysis and training material.●Hands-on use for operators, maintenance workers, and managers. Classroomwork, media, equipment and instructionare also used.●Training content matching specifications required.●Complete training before the equipment goes into operation.● A training representative of the supplier dedicated to full-time training.Goodyear’s training is limited, teaching only a basic knowledge of how to use the equipment, then leaves training new or additional employees up to the supplier using train-thetrainer style mentioned earlier.Designing and Delivering Training Cost-effectivelyThere are three approaches to designing and delivering training costeffectively. The first is a systems approach, which organizes the educational process into man-ageable steps, resulting in improved decision making and training delivery.The second approach is training partnerships with community colleges. Compa-nies get together with colleges to decide which training courses can be offered and what the company needs. Then the company signs up employees to attend. This area is enhanced when colleges increase their flexibility of courses offered and provide high quality instruction.The third approach is satellite or live interactive TV, which usually offers gradu-ate level courses. Many companies use a combination of the above three approaches.“They realized that learning occurs on the receiving end”The first approach mentioned is not a modern development so will not be dis-cussed. The second and third approaches have more recent applications.National Technical University is an example of a company which uses both the second and third approach to design cost-effectively and deliver trainingcollege and satellite TV. National Tech is a non-profit private educational corporation which awards master degrees in selected fields. Involvement by 24 universities nation-wide as well as employees’ companies allows National Technical University to emphasize high quality instruction. Companies pay a fee to join, which allows employees to par-take in the education. Then the student pays the fees and may receive reimbursement from the employer. The basic functions of National Technical University are, in addi-tion to awarding master degrees in selected disciplines, to provide research seminars, operate telecommunication for on-site services, offer short courses, seminars and workshops to introduce new technology, and establish a satellite network between industries and universities. Classroom time is done on-site or at work, over satellite. This is the wave of the future, as there is a growing number wanting to take part in this type of programme.The US Army utilizes the third approach –TV –for effective, costefficient training. Although this method is already used in industry, the approach which the army took in presenting it is more modern. The Army Training Department found that a simple, dry lecture on TV was not the most productive way to train. They realized that learning occurs on the receiving end; so, getting the students involved through TV training would be a tough challenge. They decided to restructure TV training by having their lecturers “interact” with the viewers by speaking to them as if they were in the same room, asking questions, and presenting problems which required team-work among the students. Training was found to be more fun, as students sat forward in their seats and concentration increased, creating a more conducive training pro-gramme. This “interactive” approach, although it works best, does not seem to be theapproach which many companies take.译文:员工培训的新发展克里斯蒂安·德鲁昂布赖恩·克莱纳为了适应科技的迅速变化,员工必须掌握日益复杂的技术和技能。

毕业论文(设计)外文翻译一、外文原文:原文:Employee MotivationNohria Nitin; Groysberg Boris; Lee Linda-ElingGetting people to do their best work,even in trying circumstances, is one of managers' most enduring and slippery challenges. Indeed, deciphering what motivates us as human beings is a centuries-old puzzle. Some of history's most influential thinkers about human behavior -- among them Aristotle, Adam Smith, Sigmund Freud, and Abraham Maslow -- have struggled to understand its nuances and have taught us a tremendous amount about why people do the things they do.Such luminaries, however, didn't have the advantage of knowledge gleaned from modern brain science. Their theories were based on careful and educated investigation, to be sure, but also exclusively on direct observation. Imagine trying to infer how a car works by examining its movements (starting, stopping, accelerating, turning) without being able to take apart the engine.Fortunately, new cross-disciplinary research in fields like neuroscience, biology, and evolutionary psychology has allowed us to peek under the hood, so to speak -- to learn more about the human brain. Our synthesis of the research suggests that people are guided by four basic emotional needs, or drives, that are the product of our common evolutionary heritage. As set out by Paul R. Lawrence and Nitin Nohria in their 2002 book Driven: How Human Nature Shapes Our Choices, they are the drives to acquire (obtain scarce goods, including intangibles such as social status); bond (form connections with individuals and groups); comprehend (satisfy our curiosity and master the world around us); and defend (protect against external threats and promote justice). These drives underlie everything we do.Managers attempting to boost motivation should take note. It's hard to argue with the accepted wisdom -- backed by empirical evidence -- that a motivated workforcemeans better corporate performance. But what actions, precisely, can managers take to satisfy the four drives and, thereby, increase their employees' overall motivation?We recently completed two major studies aimed at answering that question. In one, we surveyed 385 employees of two global businesses -- a financial services giant and a leading IT services firm. In the other, we surveyed employees from 300 Fortune 500 companies. To define overall motivation, we focused on four commonly measured workplace indicators of it: engagement, satisfaction, commitment, and intention to quit. Engagement represents the energy, effort, and initiative employees bring to their jobs. Satisfaction reflects the extent to which they feel that the company meets their expectations at work and satisfies its implicit and explicit contracts with them. Commitment captures the extent to which employees engage in corporate citizenship. Intention to quit is the best proxy for employee turnover.Both studies showed, strikingly, that an organization's ability to meet the four fundamental drives explains, on average, about 60% of employees' variance on motivational indicators (previous models have explained about 30%). We also found that certain drives influence some motivational indicators more than others. Fulfilling the drive to bond has the greatest effect on employee commitment, for example, whereas meeting the drive to comprehend is most closely linked with employee engagement. But a company can best improve overall motivational scores by satisfying all four drives in concert. The whole is more than the sum of its parts; a poor showing on one drive substantially diminishes the impact of high scores on the other three.When it comes to practical implications for managers, the consequences of neglecting any particular drive are clear. Bob Nardelli's lackluster performance at Home Depot, for instance, can be explained in part by his relentless focus on the drive to acquire at the expense of other drives. By emphasizing individual and store performance, he squelched the spirit of camaraderie among employees (their drive to bond) and their dedication to technical expertise (a manifestation of the need to comprehend and do meaningful work). He also created, as widely reported, a hostile environment that interfered with the drive to defend: Employees no longer felt theywere being treated justly. When Nardelli left the company, Home Depot's stock price was essentially no better than when he had arrived six years earlier. Meanwhile Lowe's, a direct competitor, gained ground by taking a holistic approach to satisfying employees' emotional needs through its reward system, culture, management systems, and design of jobs.An organization as a whole clearly has to attend to the four fundamental emotional drives, but so must individual managers. They may be restricted by organizational norms, but employees are clever enough to know that their immediate superiors have some wiggle room. In fact, our research shows that individual managers influence overall motivation as much as any organizational policy does. In this article we'll look more closely at the drivers of employee motivation, the levers managers can pull to address them, and the "local" strategies that can boost motivation despite organizational constraints.The Organizational Levers of MotivationAlthough fulfilling all four of employees' basic emotional drives is essential for any company, our research suggests that each drive is best met by a distinct organizational lever.The reward system. The drive to acquire is most easily satisfied by an organization's reward system -- how effectively it discriminates between good and poor performers, ties rewards to performance, and gives the best people opportunities for advancement. When the Royal Bank of Scotland acquired NatWest, it inherited a company in which the reward system was dominated by politics, status, and employee tenure. RBS introduced a new system that held managers responsible for specific goals and rewarded good performance over average performance. Former NatWest employees embraced their new company -- to an unusual extent in the aftermath of an acquisition -- in part because the reward system was tough but recognized individual achievement.Sonoco, a manufacturer of packaging for industrial and consumer goods, transformed itself in part by making a concerted effort to better meet the drive to acquire -- that is, by establishing very clear links between performance and rewards.Historically, the company had set high business-performance targets, but incentives had done little to reward the achievement of them. In 1995, under Cynthia Hartley, then the new vice president of human resources, Sonoco instituted a pay-for-performance system, based on individual and group metrics. Employee satisfaction and engagement improved, according to results from a regularly administered internal survey. In 2005, Hewitt Associates named Sonoco one of the top 20 talent-management organizations in the United States. It was one of the few mid-cap companies on the list, which also included big players like 3M, GE, Johnson & Johnson, Dell, and IBM.Culture. The most effective way to fulfill the drive to bond -- to engender a strong sense of camaraderie -- is to create a culture that promotes teamwork, collaboration, openness, and friendship. RBS broke through NatWest's silo mentality by bringing together people from the two firms to work on well-defined cost-savings and revenue-growth projects. A departure for both companies, the new structure encouraged people to break old attachments and form new bonds. To set a good example, the executive committee (comprising both RBS and ex-NatWest executives) meets every Monday morning to discuss and resolve any outstanding issues -- cutting through the bureaucratic and political processes that can slow decision making at the top.Another business with an exemplary culture is the Wegmans supermarket chain, which has appeared for a decade on Fortune's list of "100 Best Companies to Work For." The family that owns the business makes a point of setting a familial tone for the companywide culture. Employees routinely report that management cares about them and that they care about one another, evidence of a sense of teamwork and belonging.Job design. The drive to comprehend is best addressed by designing jobs that are meaningful, interesting, and challenging.Cirque du Soleil, is committed to making jobs challenging and fulfilling. Despite grueling rehearsal and performance schedules, it attracts and retains performers by accommodating their creativity and pushing them to perfect their craft. Its employeesalso get to say a lot about how performances are staged, and they are allowed to move from show to show to learn new skills. In addition, they get constant collegial exposure to the world's top artists in the field.Performance-management and resource-allocation processes. Fair, trustworthy, and transparent processes for performance management and resource allocation help to meet people's drive to defend. RBS, for instance, has worked hard to make its decision processes very clear. Employees may disagree with a particular outcome, such as the nixing of a pet project, but they are able to understand the rationale behind the decision. New technology endeavors at RBS are reviewed by cross-business unit teams that make decisions using clear criteria, such as the impact on company financial performance. In surveys, employees report that the process is fair and that funding criteria are transparent. Although RBS is a demanding organization, employees also see it as a just one.The Role of the Direct ManagerOur research also revealed that organizations don't have an absolute monopoly on employee motivation or on fulfilling people's emotional drives. Employees' perceptions of their immediate managers matter just as much. People recognize that a multitude of organizational factors, some outside their supervisor's control, influence their motivation, but they are discriminating when it comes to evaluating that supervisor's ability to keep them motivated. Employees in our study attributed as much importance to their boss's meeting their four drives as to the organization's policies. In other words, they recognized that a manager has some control over how company processes and policies are implemented.Employees don't expect their supervisors to be able to substantially affect the company's overall reward systems, culture, job design, or management systems. Yet managers do have some discretion within their spheres of influence; some hide behind ineffective systems, whereas others make the most of an imperfect model. Managers can, for example, link rewards and performance in areas such as praise, recognition, and choice assignments. They can also allocate a bonus pool in ways that distinguishbetween top and bottom performers. Similarly, even in a cutthroat culture that doesn't promote camaraderie, a manager can take actions that encourage teamwork and make jobs more meaningful and interesting. Many supervisors are regarded well by their employees precisely because they foster a highly motivating local environment, even if the organization as a whole falls short. On the other hand, some managers create a toxic local climate within a highly motivated organization.Although employees look to different elements of their organization to satisfy different drives, they expect their managers to do their best to address all four within the constraints that the institution imposes. Our surveys showed that if employees detected that a manager was substantially worse than her peers in fulfilling even just one drive, they rated that manager poorly, even if the organization as a whole had significant limitations. Employees are indeed very fair about taking a big-picture view and seeing a manager in the context of a larger institution, but they do some pretty fine-grained evaluation beyond those organizational caveats. In short, they are realistic about what managers cannot do, but also about what managers should be able to do in meeting all the basic needs of their subordinates.At the financial services firm we studied, for example, one manager outperformed his peers on fulfilling subordinates' drives to acquire, bond, and comprehend. However, his subordinates indicated that his ability to meet their drive to defend was below the average of other managers in the company. Consequently, levels of work engagement and organizational commitment were lower in his group than in the company as a whole. Despite this manager's superior ability to fulfill three of the four drives, his relative weakness on the one dimension damaged the overall motivational profile of his group.Our model posits that employee motivation is influenced by a complex system of managerial and organizational factors. If we take as a given that a motivated workforce can boost company performance, then the insights into human behavior that our article has laid out will help companies and executives get the best out of employees by fulfilling their most fundamental needs.How to Make Big Strides in Employee MotivationThe secret to catapulting your company into a leading position in terms of employee motivation is to improve its effectiveness in fulfilling all four basic emotional drives, not just one. Take a firm that, relative to other firms, ranks in the 50th percentile on employee motivation. An improvement in job design alone (the lever that most influences the drive to comprehend) would move that company only up to the 56th percentile -- but an improvement on all four drives would blast it up to the 88th percentile.Direct Managers Matter, TooAt the companies we surveyed whose employee motivation scores were in the top fifth, workers rated their managers' ability to motivate them as highly, on average, as they rated the organization's ability to fulfill their four drives. The same pattern was evident within the bottom fifth of companies, even though their average ratings on all five dimensions were, of course, much lower than those of companies in the top fifth.Harvard Business Review,Jul-Aug2008,Vol. 86 Issue 7/8, p78-84二、外文译文:译文:员工激励Nohria Nitin; Groysberg Boris; Lee Linda-Eling让员工将工作做到最好,即使是在令人讨厌的工作环境下,是管理者最持久的挑战。
中文3570字本科毕业论文(设计)外文翻译外文题目Staff training rated ‘absolutely pivotal’外文出处Knowledge training,2008(10):p46-47外文作者 Olivia原文:Staff training rated ‘absolutely pivotal’OliviaAs a recent survey reveals the importance that job seekers attach to an organization’s commitment to training, Olivia Hemmings talks to three companies whose investment in their staff is resulting in higher productivity, increased profits and better staff retention.For some job hunters, salary is the main consideration, while for others it is flexible working hours or even location. However, one prospect that unites 90% of travel industry job seekers is the promise of training and development, according to a survey by Abta and People 1st, the sector skills council for the hospitality. leisure travel and tourism industries.And it is easy to understand why. For the applicant, a company's commitment to staff training and development means a likely improvement in their performance, leading to progression up the career ladder.What is surprising, therefore, is that training is provided only by 43% of employers to all their staff each year, by 36% to most employees and by 19% to some. Two per cent of the survey's respondents said they provided no training or ongoing development at all. But three companies that do make significant investment in staff training — and are reaping the rewards — are Thomas Cook, Bales Worldwide and STA.THOMAS COOKWhat training is available?At Thomas Cook, overseas resorts staffs are given training from day one. Before departing the UK, they attend an eight-day residential induction to be taught the basic skills and behaviors they need to be a company representative. Once in resort, they receive up to 12 on-the-job training days before becoming a fully-fledged rep.But training doesn't stop there. Elinor Carr, learning and development manager for Thomas Cook holiday division, says it offers overseas resort staff a clear progressionpath.In fact, regular training sessions are delivered throughout the season and staffs are presented with a range of development opportunities, including Stars, the Senior Training and Recognition Scheme.This training initiative has career progression at its core. Split into three levels, the scheme aims to train up frontline staff to first-line management, then second-line management and finally resort management level, using rigorous training courses. Employees who successfully complete all three levels can then consider the Overseas Management Development Programme (OMDP} if they wish to learn about the wider Thomas Cook business.For this programme, managers attend courses in the UK and complete operational and management modules. Operational modules teach managers about yield management and explain the commercial factors driving the business. The management and leadership modules look at the individual's management style and personality and assess what impact they have on their leadership.Most companies are poor at developing their executives, and most of them acknowledge this: only 3 percent of the 6,000 executives occupying the top 200 positions at 50 large US corporations examined by a recent McKinsey survey strongly agreed that their organizations developed talent quickly and effectively.1 In no area of executive development—job rotation, traditional internal and external training, or mentoring—did a majority of these executives believe that their employers were doing a good job (Exhibit 1).Some companies feel that their high performers will rise to the top naturally, like cream. Others, believing that talent can be bought, try to recruit executives from such sources as General Electric, a famous developer of people. In fact, though businesses should look for senior-level talent outside their own organizations, they themselves must also be good at developing it. In the first place, as talent becomes scarcer—and demography suggests that it will—the "buy-only" strategy becomes risky and expensive. Moreover, recruiting all of a company's senior executives externally sacrifices cultural cohesion and institutional memory. In any case, companies thatcan't develop their own talent find it hard to attract good people from the outside.Job experience drives executive developmentCompanies develop executives in various ways: by giving them feedback, coaching, mentoring, and training. But more than anything else, executives need on-the-job experience in appropriate positions. What makes positions appropriate? Four considerations are crucial.The first is the way a job is structured: the executive who holds it should have both headroom (authority and responsibility) and elbow room (scope and variety). Organizations that are decentralized or that have many "P&L jobs"—in which the holder's decisions are linked to, and measured by, the company's profit or loss—therefore create more opportunities for development than organizations that do not.Second, people with high potential should move through a series of challenging jobs, for after two or three years the learning curve in any position tends to flatten out, and capable people start to chafe. How long any one person should stay put varies with the business, the extent of the challenge, and that person's ability to grow. One company's line executive held 18 positions in 24 years, and though not everyone can or should move so quickly, companies tend to leave executives in jobs much too long. Third, this series of jobs should provide a range of challenges. Working in different geographic regions or with a variety of bosses requires executives to master new contexts. Leading a turnaround, stimulating a stagnant business, and influencing a company from a staff position draw on different skills.Finally, executives need to learn their craft from highly skilled colleagues as well as superiors. The ability to lead can in part be acquired through apprenticeship, and apprentices learn more from world-class experts and leaders than from mediocre ones. Success, moreover, breeds success, so good people are likelier to stay with an organization that has many other good people.Why does Cook invest in training?"We're a people business. We put them at the top of our agenda," explains Phil Bamfather, head of learning and development for Thomas Cook holiday and central.He says well-trained staff are "absolutely pivotal" in the company's success.Phil says that the skills, knowledge and understanding that come with training also increase organizational performance, such as sales and service delivery targets, as well as employee satisfaction.Elinor adds that it's important that staff can see how they add value and that the business is interested in investing in them. She says programmes such as Stars help ensure staff stay within the business and are promoted from within."Staff retention is one benefit of our training scheme," she explains.It also helps Cook with succession planning, when people move up or out of one area of the business and into another.BLAES WORLSWIDEWhat training is available?Susan Rock, inhouse training coordinator at Bales, gives new sales employees six to eight weeks of dedicated one-to-one training.First, new sales and operational staff are introduced to the company's written standards and its brochures. They are then taught about the reservations system Galileo, airline contracts and how to make quotes and take bookings. By the end of the course, the trainees are taking calls and doing the job under supervision.Bales also places a great deal of importance on the need for ongoing development of its staff through product and sales training. Product training involves at least two overseas trips every year for sales staff to gain in-depth knowledge of the destinations. On each trip they can visit up to 10 locations.Sales training is delivered by an external training company which runs three full-day, off-the-job training sessions each year- Training sessions can vary from phone skills to communication techniques that convey conviction in the product.The role of job experience in driving growth is fairly well understood. Thus, it is striking that only 10 percent of the 6,000 executives McKinsey surveyed thought that their companies used job assignments effectively. The problem is that the people who control the process—senior line executives—don't adequately factor development into their decisions. A division president naturally finds it safer to appoint an experienced,highly qualified candidate to a key position than to take a chance and stretch a possible future leader. Furthermore, that division president might not know how to use job experience to develop people: in the McKinsey survey, 48 percent of human-resources executives said that most executives think development is simply a function of training programs.Except for action learning and early training in managerial skills, training programs just are not capable of producing truly great executivessuch programs are often favored because they are highly visible, as well as simple to create and run, and by establishing them an HR department can show that it is doing its bit to nurture people. But with two exceptions—action learning, built around real work projects, to a small group of promising people, and in fact result in action. One project in a GE executive development course required a team to assess the company's investment strategy in South Korea. After four weeks partly spent in that country, the team presented its recommendations to GE's top 28 executives, who based the company's investment decisions largely on those recommendations.Why does Bales invest in staff training?Vivienne Thorn, human resources director at Bales, regards staff training as the future of die company."In all strategic plans for a company and where it's going, you have to include staff training so they can deliver. It's integral to meeting business objectives," she says. Offering the highest level of customer service is a key business objective at Bales. Thom says ensuring staff have the skills to carry this out is one of the reasons behind their "tremendous" investment in employee training.Rock says the training programme also ensures consistent practice across staff. "The benefits of our one-to-one training is the speed at which we can get trainees up to the standards we want, and the learning process is consistent for everyone," she says.The intensive induction has other benefits, says Thom. These include staff making fewer mistakes, feeling supported in their role and "going that little bit extra".In terms of sales achievements. Bales conversion rates have risen from 20% in2004 to 29% last year, and customer complaints have reduced.STA TRAVELWhat training is available?Inconsistencies in induction and management training in the past recently prompted STA to overhaul its training to bring all branches in line with one another. STA offers an informative induction programme and an ongoing development scheme for staff, plus specialist training.The scope of training is now regularly adapted to meet staffs changing needs, and often it is in response to employee feedback.The induction process is an intensive three-week programme that includes basic geography, plus lessons about the company's systems. Presentations are also given by other department heads about the activity they oversee, providing new recruits with an overall company picture. In the second week, inductees spend one day with their branch, shadowing consultants and learning about the booking process. The third week is given over to sales techniques.Trainees are then put into a branch for seven weeks where the branch manager will guide them through other processes and teach them the additional skills they require. Elsewhere, management personnel are also offered a varied learning programme, with training about how to hold a meeting, setting objectives, getting the most out of staff, driving sales and time management.A new initiative in STA's training portfolio is a personal leadership programme which is open to branch managers as well as senior staff. The three-day course aims to provide the leadership and communication skills necessary for managers be able to take owner-ship of a problem and deal with it, rather than refer it to their manager. Why does STA invest in staff training?Catherine Wilson, STA's human resources director, says the company tries to establish its targets as a business, and then provides its people with the skills to achieve them.As well as having increased knowledge to drive sales, Wilson believes training helps to engage employees by demonstrating what's expected of them. She says it alsogives them the ability to be flexible and adapt to the job."We're keen to promote that people don't just come to work for work's sake and for the money but that they come because they want to work for us as a company," she says.STA's commitment to staff investment appears to be paying off. In the past 12 months, employee turnover has been cut by 20%, and sales and revenue have also increased.译文:员工培训被评为“绝对的关键”奥利维亚由于最近的一项研究表明了求职者对公司培训员工的承诺的重视,Olivia Hemmings 告诉三家公司,它们在员工身上的投资将会获得更高的生产力,额外的利润和员工对公司更好的忠诚度。
