Once the worker is on the job and has been trained, the fundamental aim of the industrial psycholo-gist is to find ways in which a particular job can best be accomplished with a minimum of effort and a max

5、ed to do the job, the equipment used, and the conditions under which the job is performed. After making such a study, the in-dustrial psychologist often determines that the job in question may be accomplished with less effort by changing the routine motions of the work itself, changing or moving the

6、 tools, improving the working conditions, or a combination of several of these methods.Industrial psychologists have also studied the effects of fatigue on workers to de-termine the length of working time that yields the greatest productivity. In some cases such studies have proven that total produc

7、tion on particular jobs could be increased by re-ducing the number of working hours or by increasing the number of rest periods, or “breaks“, during the day.

14、fic, and help with childcare conflicts. For management, telecommuting helps keep high performers on board, minimizes lateness and absenteeism by eliminating commuters (经常乘火车往返者), allows periods of solitude (独处) for high concentration tasks, and provides scheduling flexibility.

15、 Southern California and Seattle, Washington, local governments are encouraging companies to start telecommuting programs in order to reduce rushhour traffic and improve air quality.But these benefits do not come easily. Marking a telecommuting program work requires careful planning and an understan

16、ding of the differences between telecommuting realities and popular images. Many workers are seduced by rosy illusions of life as a telecommuter.

17、his office three days a week and works at home the other two. An accountant stays home to care for her sick child; she child; she hooks up her telephone modern connections and does office work between calls to the doctor.These are powerful images, but they are a limited reflection of reality.
