In recent years many countries of the world have been faced with the problem of how to make their workers more productive . Some experts say the 21 is to make jobs more varied . But do more varied jobs 22 greater productivity ?There is evidence to suggest that 23 variety certainly makes the worker’s life more enjoyable , it doesn’t 24 make him work harder .

Perhaps if we 40 making their jobs more interesting , they will neither want more money , nor will shorter working hours be so important to the .
