英语新闻听写 收入不平等?老板应该这样做!

According to Fusion¹, a new study suggests that if bosses want to increase productivity among their workers, they should start by paying everyone equally. Economists² from Columbia and Berkeley conducted 14 experiments at set of factories in India to study the effects of pay disparities on worker productivity.

Fusion（融合）平台称，一项新研究表明如果老板想要提高员工的工作效率，那么他们首先要做的就是公平地支付员工工资。哥伦比亚和伯克利的经济学家在印度的一批工厂中做了14次试验，为了研究工资差异对工作效率所产生的影响。

They found that the amount workers get paid relative to co-workers has a huge impact on how productive a worker is at work. Essentially³, once workers found out they made less than a co-worker for doing the same work, the productivity of the lower-paid worker decreased substantially. This has implications for workplaces that engage in gender-based pay inequity, the most common form being women paid less than men for doing the same work.

他们发现员工与同事之间的工资收入差异对其工作效率有极大影响。一般而言，一旦员工发现他们的收入比工作内容相同的同事要少，那么他们的工作效率就会大大下降。这对那些因性别差异导致收入不平等的公司有所启示，最常见的情况是工作内容相同的女性收入比男性要低。
