Whenjudgementisreplacedbyfeedbackinthetruesense,organizationswillhavealotmoretimetodevotetotheircustomersandtheirbusiness.Notimewillbewastedinappraisal.Thisrequiresafundamentalshiftinthewaywethinkabouttheorganizationofperformanceappraisals,whichalmostcertainlywillnotbeforthcomingfromthehumanresourcesprofession. 关于员工评估和反馈的文章。
一个组织内部的上下级沟通真的太重要了。
第一题,说真正的反馈可以释放用在别处的资源。
意思上真正的反馈可以让人腾出精力。
答案是E段的第一句:
Whenjudgementisreplacedbyfeedbackinthetruesense,organizationswillhavealotmoretimetodevotetotheircustomersandtheirbusiness。
这题的意思还算比较明显,feedbackinthetruesense,就是genuinefeedback,devotetotheircustomersandthebusiness,就是把资源释放在别的地方。
第二题,说经理们是被期望着使员工工作得更有效率。
答案是C段的最后一句:
Itismanagement’sresponsibilitytoensurethattheworkersoperateinasystemthatfacilitatestheirperformance.经理们的责任,也就是managersareexpectedto,有利于他们的表现,就是enabletheirstafftoworkeffectively。
第三题,说专家不大可能有利于真正反馈的进程。
答案是E段的最后一句:
whichalmostcertainlywillnotbeforthcomingfromthehumanresourcesprofession。
人力资源专家,就是experts。
需要理解下这里的forthcoming的含义:
willingtodivulgeinformation.(人)愿意透露消息的。
专家们不愿意透露消息,也就是不能指望专家来facilitate。
第四题,说商讨评估表现的方法是有利的。
答案是在C段,有点分散。
前面说Themeasurehasbeenworkedoutbetweentheoperatorsandtheirmanager。
这个措施是在操作者和经理们之间拟定的。
betweentheoperatorsandmanagers,也就是评估表现的方法是被商讨了的。
后面介绍的情况都是这个measure有多么的好:
isthebasisoffeedback。
综合起来,就是选项说的,商讨是有好处的。
第五题,说评估倾向聚焦于员工和他们直属经理们之间面对面关系的性质。
这个选项可能会弄的人一头雾水,首先得弄明白这里的面对面关系指的是什么。
员工和直属经理的关系,就是上下级的关系,过分看重这个关系,那么在评估过程中就会有顾虑,谁还敢揭自己上司的短?
所以这个句子的意思是说评估过程中有顾忌,无人敢说真话。
答案是D段的这么一句:
Thustheappraisalexperiencebecomesaquestionofpleasingtheboss。
评估过程成了讨好自己的老板,说的就是这个意思。
P.S:
这是我个人对这道题的理解,大家有异议,可以提。
第六题,说员工对他们所作负责的想法听起来很合理。
答案是B段的第一句:
Thenotionbehindperformanceappraisal-thatworkersshouldbeheldaccountablefortheirperformance-isplausible。
这里的accountable就是负有责任。
Plausible是貌似真实的,也就是seemsreasonable。
第七题,说虽然有专家们的主张,管理层的结构阻止了真正的反馈。
答案是A段的这么一句:
thesimplefactofthematteristhatthenatureofhierarchydistortstheconceptoffeedback。
管理层的机构,就是这句里提到的thenatureofhierarchy,等级制的性质。
这个单词在BEC阅读里常出现。
distort,扭曲,就是选项里的prevent。
第八题,说在评估过程中投入了更多的努力。
答案是A段的这么一句,有点隐晦:
Nowthepracticeisevenmorefrequent.Thisofcoursemakesitallthemoreimportanthowappraisalisconducted.这个句子是紧跟上文的,thepractice指的就是appraisal。
评估的更频繁,评估是怎么进行的显得更加重要。
认为更加重要了(makesitallthemoreimportant),就会投入更多努力了。
综合起来,这些的意思就是评估过程投入了更多的努力。
不太容易看出来。
