To ensure employees' commitment, it is advisable to give them more flexibility as to where and how they work.

The millennials who will soon make up half the workforce in rich countries were raised from nursery school onwards to work in groups.

Teams work best if their members have a strong common culture.

Team-building skills are in short supply: Deloitte reports that only 12% of the executives they contacted feel they understand the way people work together in networks and only 21% feel confident in their ability to build cross-functional teams.

Some scholars think teamwork may not always be reliable, despite its potential to work wonders.

Preparation has been made; now is the time for the venture of the work itself.

Members of poorly managed teams are easily distracted from their work.

Loosely managed teams can become hotbeds of distraction—employees routinely complain that they can't get their work done because they are forced to spend too much time in meetings or compelled to work in noisy offices.

It can easily be made into a work of art.

Initially Leah stayed with her accounting job while starting up the yoga studio to make it all work.

High-flyers who are forced to work in teams may be undervalued and free-riders empowered.

Even in the age of open-plan offices and social networks some work is best left to the individual.

But I know if you don't grow, you stand still, and that doesn't work for me.

Ask Nima Veiseh what he was doing for any day in the past 15 years, however, and he will give you the details of the weather, what he was wearing, or even what side of the train he was sitting on his journey to work.

A new study of 12,000 workers in 17 countries by Steelcase, a furniture-maker which also does consulting, finds that the best way to ensure employees are engaged is to give them more control over where and how they do their work—which may mean liberating them from having to do everything in collaboration with others.

Mules have strong muscles like horses; but they eat less, can work longer, and are gentler, like donkeys.

They had to work from early morning till late at night.

In agrarian , pre-industrial Europe, you'd want to wake up early, start working with the sunrise, have a break to have the largest meal, and then you'd go back to work, says Ken Albala, a professor of history at the University of the Pacific.

Was it because of the growing attraction of the Internet, video games and endless TV channels? Never disconnecting from work? No matter how it happened, millions of Americans are putting their health, quality of life and even length of life in danger.

Some, like Mr.Azar’s plastic bag, are open to argument as to how they work, or whether they really work at all.

Whether such taxes work is a matter of debate.

When turning work into a game, it is necessary to understand what makes games interesting.

We validated these expectations in a study in which two other psychologists and I monitored 373 students for two years during the transition to junior high school, when the work gets more difficult and the grading -102- more strict, to determine how their mind-sets might affect their math grades.

We can cultivate a growth mind-set in children by telling success stories that emphasize hard work and love of learning.

They understood that even geniuses have to work hard.

They thought that a person with talent or intelligence did not need to work hard to do well.

They had negative views of effort, believing that having to work hard was a sign of low ability.

The most successful gamification platforms transform daily work assignments into fun experiences.

The mastery-oriented children, on the other hand, think intelligence is not fixed and can be developed through education and hard work.

The emotional component of the prizes is at work.

The author's experiment shows that students with a fixed mind-set believe having to work hard is an indication of low ability.

Thanks in part to video games, the generation now entering the workforce is especially open to the idea of having their work gamified.

Some people do not take naturally to gamified work environments, Cornetti says.

It did not work out as well as was expected.

Increasingly, companies are tapping into these desires directly through what has come to be known as gamification: essentially, turning work into a game.

In addition, they held hard work in high regard.

How do we transmit a growth mind-set to our children? One way is by telling stories about achievements that result from hard work.

But as the work became more difficult, the students with a growth mind-set showed greater persistence.

They love to share their ideas and materials and help others find markets for their work.

Of course, there are opportunities for part-time work off-campus, too.

No longer does a good craftsman have to work in a job he dislikes all day and then try to create at night.

If you spend a little time digging for the right part-time jobs, you’ll save yourself time when you find a job that leaves you with enough time to get your school work done, too.

If you are a college student looking for work but worry you won’t have enough time to devote to academic subjects, consider working as a study hall or library monitor.

What I remember, however, is how she took up the extremely troublesome work of ongoing criticism.

This might be a small change to the way we view work and the office, but the researchers argue that it challenges a widespread characteristic of the economy: work organized by clock time.

They work down the list, each task starts when the previous task is completed.

They always get their work done in time.

The assumption is that children shouldn't chat in the classroom because it hinders hard work; instead, they should learn to delay gratification so that they can pursue abstract goals, like going to college.

That may be a bad thing, particularly at work.

Task-based timing is preferred for doing creative work.

No one advocates letting someone convicted of pedophilia work in a school.

New research shows that clock-based work schedules hinder morale and creativity.

It places more emphasis on work efficiency than on workers' lives.

It may have a negative effect on creative work.

Instead of trying to get children to work hard, why not focus on getting them to take pleasure in meaningful, productive activity, like making things, working with others, exploring ideas, and solving problems? These focuses are not so different from the things in which they delight.

If everyone around you has similar views, your work will suffer from confirmation bias .

Do you really need the rich people? Wouldn't it work to have the government invest in the nerds? No, it would not.

Administrators seem to believe that only hard work will lead children to their educational goals.

By and large, people felt that their actions and hard work—not outside forces—were the deciding factor in how their lives turned out.

Citing the work of psychologists and cognitive (认知的)scientists, Leslie criticizes the received wisdom that academic success is the result of a combination of intellectual talent and hard work.

Companies soon discovered that work could be done at home and submitted online, so a whole new class of telecommuters began to earn a living from home offices unshaven and wearing pajamas (睡衣).

It depends on how much work we've got and how many other orders there are to send out, you know.

The most successful sharers—those whose data are downloaded and cited the most often—get noticed, and their work gets used.

The cycle continues: Poorer parents have less time and fewer resources to invest in their children, which can leave children less prepared for school and work, which leads to lower earnings.

Historically, scientists have objected to sharing for many reasons: it is a lot of work; until recently, good databases did not exist; grant funders were not pushing for sharing; it has been difficult to agree on standards for formatting data; and there is no agreed way to assign credit for data.

And in today’s program, we’re looking at the results of two recently published surveys, which both deal with the same topic—happiness at work.

The president's stimulus package is pumping money into research to compare how well various treatments work.

The Senate bill would create an independent commission to monitor the pilot programs and recommend changes in Medicare's payment policies to urge providers to adopt reforms that work.

In October 2000, the same month the survey was taken, the Washington-based Center for Media and Public Affairs wrote in its publication Media Monitor that, in a recent month of TV news coverage of American youth, just 2% of teens were shown at home, and just 1% were portrayed in a work setting.

In American Woman's Home, published in 1869, the Beecher sisters recommended a scientific approach to household management, designed to enhance the efficiency of a woman's work and promote order.

Here are some of the important proposals in the House and Senate bills to try to address those problems, and why it is hard to know how well they will work.

Her 1919 work, Household Engineering: Scientific Management in the Home, was based on detailed observation of a housewife's daily routine.

Exclusivity, more familiar in the world of high fashion, has reached the kitchen: Robinson&Cornish, a British manufacturer of custom-made kitchens, offers a Georgian-style one which would cost £145,000-155,000— excluding building, plumbing and electrical work.

With technology everywhere in our life, it has become virtually impossible for most workers to keep a balance between work and life.

Too many workplace policies effectively prohibit employees from developing a healthy work-life balance by barring them from taking time off, even when they need it most.

They didn't work anywhere and all the time – they were better able to manage their work, Moen said.

There's rising work demand coupled with the insecurity of mergers, takeovers, downsizing and other factors, Moen said.

The researchers found that telepressure is a major cause of stress at work, which over time contributes to physical and mental burnout.

The conditions creating the stress are long hours, unrealistic demands and deadlines, and work-life conflict.

The U.S. trails far behind every wealthy nation and many developing ones that have family-friendly work policies including paid parental leave, paid sick days and breast-feeding support, according to a 2007 study.

Telepressure was also correlated with sleeping poorly and missing work.

Seven in 10 workers say they struggle to maintain work-life balance.

Part of the work-life issue has to talk about uncertainty about the future.

Of the 300 employees participating in the study, those who experienced high levels of telepressure were more likely to agree with statements assessing burnout, like I've no energy for going to work in the morning, and to report feeling fatigued and unfocused.

It's important to note that the increased flexibility didn't encourage them to work around the clock.

In a competitive work environment, employers are able to use technology to demand more from their employees rather than motivating workers with flexibility that benefits them.

In a 2011 study, she investigated the effects of implementing a Results Only Work Environment on the productivity and well-being of employees at Best Buy's corporate headquarters.

If going to university doesn't work out, students pay very little--if any--of their tuition fees back: you only start repaying when you are earning ￡21,000 a year.

For instance, new technologies that are building upon existing technology have not found their footing well enough to appeal to a mass audience, because, in many cases, they need to work effectively with other devices to realize their full appeal.

As technology seeps into every aspect of our lives, work-life balance has become an almost meaningless term.

And because a failure to accept these increased demands indicates a lack of commitment to one's work, the employee complies.

After six months, the employees who participated in ROWE reported reduced work-family conflict and a better sense of control of their time, and they were getting a full hour of extra sleep each night.

According to Moen, flexibility gives employees better control over their work and time.

83% of workers say they're stressed about their jobs, nearly 50% say work-related stress is interfering with their sleep, and 60% use their smartphones to check in with work outside of normal working hours.

One needs the designers, and perhaps the regulators, before the builders and operators, and each group of workers in training has to know there is work waiting beyond graduation.

If the CFL should be used for lighting a particular space, or an object within that space, the fixture must be designed to work with that lamp, and that fixture with the room.

For students who have been coasting through college, and for American universities that have been demanding less work, offering more attractions and charging higher tuition, the party may soon be over.

As recent graduates can testify, the job market isn't kind to candidates who can't demonstrate genuine competence, along with a well-cultivated willingness to work hard.

Arum and Roksa placed the blame for students' lack of learning on a watered-down college curriculum and lowered undergraduate work standards.

There are certain products andservices that are very suitable for selling online, and others that simply don’t work.
