Conversation One

W: Welcome to Workplace.

And in today's program, we're looking at the results of two recently published surveys, which both deal with the same topic—happiness at work.

John, tell us about the first survey.

M: Well, this was done by a human resources consultancy, who interviewed more than 1,000 workers, and established a top ten of the factors, which make people happy at work.

The most important factor for the majority of the people interviewed was having friendly, supportive colleagues.

In fact, 73% of people interviewed put their relationship with colleagues as the key factor contributing to happiness at work, which is a very high percentage.

The second most important factor was having work that is enjoyable.

The two least important factors were having one's achievements recognized, and rather surprisingly, earning a competitive salary.

W: So, we are not mainly motivated by money?

M: Apparently not.

W: Any other interesting information in the survey?

M: Yes. For example, 25% of the working people interviewed described themselves as 'very happy' at work.

However, 20% of employees described themselves as being unhappy.

W: That's quite a lot of unhappy people at work every day.

M: It is, isn't it?

And there were several more interesting conclusions revealed by the survey.

First of all, small is beautiful: people definitely prefer working for smaller organizations or companies with less than 100 staff.

We also find out that, generally speaking, women were happier in their work than men.

W: Yes, we are, aren't we?

M: And workers on part-time contracts, who only work 4 or 5 hours a day, are happier than those who work full-time.

The researchers concluded that this is probably due to a better work-life balance.

W: Are bosses happier than their employees?

M: Yes, perhaps not surprisingly, the higher people go in a company, the happier they are.

So senior managers enjoy their jobs more than people working under them.

Questions 1 to 4 are based on the conversation you have just heard.

Question 1: What is the No. 1 factor that made employees happy according to the survey?

Question 2: What is the percentage of the people surveyed who felt unhappy at work?

Question 3: What kind of companies are popular with employees?

Question 4: What is the possible reason for people on part-time contracts to be happier?

对话一

女：欢迎收听“Workplace”节目。

在今天的节目里，我们将查看两个最近发布的调查的结果，它们针对的是同一话题——工作中的快乐。

约翰，跟我们说说第一个调查吧。

好的，这项调查是由人力资源咨询公司进行的，他们采访了1000多名员工，并列出了使人们在工作中感到快乐的十大因素。

对于大多数受访者来说，最重要的因素是有友好、支持自己的同事。

事实上，73%的受访者把他们与同事之间的关系作为工作中快乐的关键因素，它所占的比例很高。

第二个重要因素是有令人愉快的工作。

最不重要的两个因素是工作成就得到认可，以及相当令人惊奇的竟是，收入有竞争力。

女：真得吗，我们之所以工作最主要的不就是因为钱么？

男：很显然不是。

女：还有什么其他有趣的调查结果吗？

男：有的。比如，25%的受访工作者认为他们在工作中“非常快乐”。

然而，20%的员工认为他们在工作中是不快乐的。

女：每天工作中不快乐的人可真多啊。

男：确实，不是吗？

而且这项调查还得出了一些有趣的结论。

首先，小就是美：人们当然更愿意在员工人数少于100人的公司工作。

我们还发现，一般来说，女性在工作中比男性要更快乐。

女：我们就是这样的，不是吗？

男：并且每天只工作四五个小时的兼职工比那些全职工作者要更快乐。

研究者们推断可能是由于兼职工的工作与生活更加平衡。

女：老板们比雇员们更快乐吗？

男：是的，一个人在一家公司的职位越高，他们就越幸福，这一点或许毫不奇怪。

因此，资深管理者比他们的部下要更喜欢他们的工作。

问题1到4是基于刚才你所听到的那段对话。

问题1：根据这项调查，让雇员们感到快乐的首要因素是什么？

问题2：被调查的人中觉得他们在工作中不快乐的百分比是多少？

问题3：哪种类型的公司很受雇员们的欢迎？

问题4：兼职工更快乐的可能原因是什么？
