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 . As far as increasing productivity is concerned , then , 25 is not an improtant factor .
Other experts feel that giving the worker 26 to do his job in his own way is important , and there is no doubt that this is ture . The 27 is that this kind of freedom can’t easily be given in the modern factory with its complicated machinery which must be used in a 28 way . Thus while freedom of choice may be important , there is usually very little that can be done to 44 it .
Another important 30 is how much each worker 31 to the product he is making . In most factories the worker 32 only one small part of the product . Some car factories are now 33 with having many small production lines rather than one large one , so that each worker contributes more to the production of the cars on his 34 . It would seem that not only is degree of worker contribution an important factor 35 it is one we can do something about .
To what 36 does more money lead to greater productivity ? The workers themselves certainly think this is 37 . But perhaps they want more money only because the work they do is so boring , 38 just lets them enjoy their spare time more . A 39 argument may explain demands for shorter working hours . 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 .
