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 ___36___ is to make jobs more varied(多樣的). But do more varied jobs ___37___ greater productivity? There is evidence to suggest that ___38___variety certainly makes the worker’s life more enjoyable, it doesn’t __39___ make him work harder. As far as increasing productivity is concerned, then, ___40___ is not an important factor.
Other experts feel that giving the worker___41___ to do his job in his own way is important, and there is no doubt that this is true.

Thus while freedom of choice may be important, there is usually very little that can be done to ___44___ it.
Another important ___45___ is how much each worker ___46___ to the product he is making. In most factories the worker ___47___only one small part of the product. Some car factories are now ___48___ 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___49___. It would seem that not only is degree of worker contribution an important factor ___50___ it is one we can do something about.

But perhaps they want more money only because the work they do is so boring. ___53___ just lets them enjoy their spare time more. A ___54___ argument may explain demands for shorter working hours. Perhaps if we ___55___ making their jobs more interesting, they will neither want more money, nor will shorter working hours be so important to them.
