上班時(shí)聽MP3有錯(cuò)嗎?
Brits plug in MP3 players at work

Brits plug in MP3 players at work

Nearly a quarter of British workers plug in their MP3 players to listen to music while on the job -- sparking lively debate over whether they should be banned, a study said.

Over 30 percent of companies have outlawed using devices like the ubiquitous iPod in the workplace, according to Woods Bagot, an international design practice.

"By wearing the highly-visible, white headphones, they're ... sending a signal to colleagues that they don't want to be bothered," said Simon Pole, head of the company's head of corporate interiors.

According to the study, 22 percent of workers spend an average of three hours per day listening to MP3 players.

But some argue that the trend is only natural: previously workers were physically separated by walls, whereas offices are increasingly open-plan nowadays, pushing them to erect new barriers.

"The MP3 player is the simplest way to create your own office," said the company.

And Cary Cooper, professor of organization psychology at Lancaster University, and author of "Shut up and Listen: The Truth About How to Communicate at Work," said bans were counter-productive.

"Employers are wrong to ban MP3 players from the workplace. It's crucial to give workers autonomy, and bans of any sort can alienate workers," he said.

"Bosses shouldn't care about how employees accomplish their objectives or if they want to engross themselves in MP3 players -- as long as the job gets done," he added.

一項(xiàng)最新調(diào)查顯示,近四分之一的英國(guó)職員上班時(shí)聽MP3,這引起人們對(duì)是否應(yīng)禁止這一行為展開激烈的討論。

據(jù)伍茲·貝格特國(guó)際設(shè)計(jì)公司介紹,30%以上的公司禁止員工上班時(shí)使用諸如iPod之類的隨身播放器。

室內(nèi)設(shè)計(jì)部經(jīng)理西門·波爾說(shuō):“耳朵里塞著清楚可見的白色耳機(jī),這分明是在告訴其他同事別來(lái)打擾他?!?

調(diào)查發(fā)現(xiàn),22%的員工每天聽MP3的時(shí)間平均為3個(gè)小時(shí)。

但有的人則認(rèn)為,上班時(shí)聽MP3很正常。以前員工們都有自己獨(dú)立的辦公空間,而如今辦公室的格局設(shè)計(jì)越來(lái)越開放,所以員工們不得不采用新的方式來(lái)“開拓”個(gè)人空間。

伍茲·貝格特公司說(shuō):“聽MP3是‘開拓’個(gè)人空間最為簡(jiǎn)單的辦法。”

蘭開斯特大學(xué)組織心理學(xué)教授、《閉嘴!傾聽:工作中的溝通法則》一書的作者卡里·庫(kù)伯說(shuō),“禁令”往往會(huì)適得其反。

他說(shuō):“老板們不應(yīng)該禁止員工上班時(shí)聽MP3,因?yàn)樽寙T工得到充分的自主權(quán)很重要,‘禁令’會(huì)使員工對(duì)公司產(chǎn)生敵對(duì)情緒?!?

“只要員工們完成任務(wù),老板們不必在意他們是如何完成的,也不用在意他們上班時(shí)是否聽了MP3。”
