Changes at work are not always negative
19/12/2014 The British Psychological Society
Changes in the workplace do not always have a negative effect on employees, a
suggests a study published in the Journal of Occupational and Organizational Psychology
this week.
職場的變化並不總對員工產生負面影響，根據本週公佈的職業與組織心理學
雜誌發佈的一項研究建議。
Previous studies have showed workers get demotivated and unhappy in the face of pay
cuts, fewer promotion opportunities and reduced working hours.
以前的研究已經顯示，工人若被減薪，減少晉升機會和減少工作時間會失去動力和不滿。
However, tests carried out by researchers at Monash University have indicated this is not
always the case, with employees often responding positively to changes if they are a good
fit for their organisation.
然而，在莫納什大學進行測試的研究人員均表示，如果他們是非常適合他們的組織
與員工經常積極地回應變化，這並非總是如此。
The research also stressed that the reaction can be much better if the workers are not just
"passive recipients" of environmental pressures and demands.
該研究還強調，如果工作者不只是環境的壓力和要求“被動接受者”，反應可更好。
Dr Kohyar Kiazad, lead researcher on the study, has therefore suggested employers
implement human resource practices that increase their workers' social connectivity and
fit within the working environment.
Kohyar Kiazad 醫生，這項研究的首席研究員，曾因此建議雇主實施人力資源實踐能夠
提高工人的社會連接和適應工作環境。
"That might mean regular social events, mentoring programs or the use of role models as
a means to improve employees' social connectivity within the workplace," he said.
“這可能意味著定期的社交活動，指導計劃或角色模型的使用，以提高員工工作場所內
的社會連接方式，”他說。
