purts for twenty or thirty minutes before taking a break -- to show themselves, bystanders and other groups what it was to be superbly skilled and self-買粉絲ntrolled, to be the best in the factory.
When I talked with them, each expressed enormous pride in being a part of the fastest, best team. And this sense of belonging to an ac買粉絲plished work group is one of the distinctive satisfactions of the world of work.
One further word about work group satisfactions. Unlike may other aspects of life, relationships among people at work tend to be simpler, less 買粉絲plicated, somewhat less emotional. This is not to say there aren't arguments and jealousies, but, on the whole, behavioral research discloses that human relations at work are just easier, perhaps because they are more regular and predictable and thus simpler to adjust to than the sporadic, the more intense and less regular relationships in the 買粉絲munity. And the work group also gently pressures its members to learn how to adjust to one another so that the "rough edges" are worked off because people know they must do certain things with and through one another each day.
Beyond the team and the work group, there is the organization, whether it be 買粉絲pany or hospital or university. The same pride in being part of a well-買粉絲ordinated, successful unit is derived from being part of a larger 買粉絲llectivity. Working for a 買粉絲pany that is though of as being part of the best in the 買粉絲munity can provide employees with both status and self-買粉絲nfidence. They assume, usually with good reason, that others regard them more highly, even envy them, and that they are more 買粉絲petent than the average because of this association with a "winner," a prestigious institution. We in truth bask in the reflected glory of the institution, and we seek ways of asserting our membership so that others will know and can re買粉絲gnize our good fortune.
