Barry Schwartz is the Dorwin Cartwright Professor of Social Theory and Social Action in the psychology department at Swarthmore College, Swarthmore, Pennsylvania, where he has taught for thirty years. He is the author of several leading textbooks on the psychology of learning and memory, as well as a penetrating look at contemporary life, The Battle for Human Nature: Science, Morality, and Modern Life.
An eye-opening, groundbreaking tour of the purpose of work in our lives, showing how work operates in our culture and how you can find your own path to happiness in the workplace.
Why do we work? The question seems so simple. But Professor Barry Schwartz proves that the answer is surprising, complex, and urgent.
We’ve long been taught that the reason we work is primarily for a paycheck. In fact, we’ve shaped much of the infrastructure of our society to accommodate this belief. Then why are so many people dissatisfied with their work, despite healthy compensation? And why do so many people find immense fulfillment and satisfaction through “menial” jobs? Schwartz explores why so many believe that the goal for working should be to earn money, how we arrived to believe that paying workers more leads to better work, and why this has made our society confused, unhappy, and has established a dangerously misguided system.
Through fascinating studies and compelling anecdotes, this book dispels this myth. Schwartz takes us through hospitals and hair salons, auto plants and boardrooms, showing workers in all walks of life, showcasing the trends and patterns that lead to happiness in the workplace. Ultimately, Schwartz proves that the root of what drives us to do good work can rarely be incentivized, and that the cause of bad work is often an attempt to do just that.
How did we get to this tangled place? How do we change the way we work? With great insight and wisdom, Schwartz shows us how to take our first steps toward understanding, and empowering us all to find great work.
01 什么是动机排挤? 我们知道,对于每个人,精神激励和物质激励,都能发挥非常强大的作用。 比如每天激励我们准时起床、挤地铁去上班的,是热爱吗?显然不是,是因为穷。 再比如激励老一辈革命领导人艰苦创业的,是金钱吗?显然不是,而是心中的那点“星星之火”。 但我们有没...
评分1.工作是怎么变的讨厌的? 繁重工作和无所事事报酬一下,就会变得懒惰。人性是懒惰的,有一件事上流水线,就是报酬,亚当斯密的设计,遍布许多行业。 2.带着使命感工作 当人们把工作视为意义,视为使命的时候,他做的就会超出工作要求的范畴。只执行岗位职责是无法超预期的。 3...
评分 评分亚当·斯密是18世纪最为卓越的经济学家,他是经济学的主要创立者,可谓经济学的开山鼻祖。在他闻名于世的经济学巨著《国富论》中,全面论述了劳动生产力改善的原因及其生产物在各阶级人们间之自然的分配顺序。 亚当·斯密在《国富论》中第一次提出了“劳动分工”这一观点。他...
评分Very uplifting to believe that humans are in process of making and remaking, and that there are things money cannot buy.
评分seldom people think about the question “ why we work." But it is a question that worth thinking. In the book, the author states that satisfied people work because of autonomy, discretion, engagement and meaning they get.
评分亚当斯密真是一代宗师,谈现代化绕不开亚当斯密。最后的结论太潦草,跟之前洋洋洒洒的调查对比引经据典相比太逊色,其实也没有很完备的给出“如何营造让人获得成就感工作”的方式方法。太理想化了。
评分meaning,get from meaning,improve not prove全书就这么三句话需要记住的
评分路上听完的一本书,其中一个观点说工作可以避免孤独还挺有意思。人是一个复杂动物,尤其是一堆复杂的动物在一起的时候就更复杂了,奖励机制可以保证低限却不能激发积极主动的态度,有种人性本懒惰的倾向。良好的工作环境固然备受大家喜爱但也不能排除有时还是会高估人的自律能力。
