篇章翻译。英译汉。 How to Reduce Stress and Be Happy on the Job By Gary Dessler QUSTION: Have you any quick simple suggestions for how I can reduce the stress I’m under at work? I’m a manager in a large bank, and between company politics, customers who don’t pay back their loans, and my heavy workload, I find myself under what seems to be unrelenting stress and pressure at work. The stress is beginning to affect my work and family life, and any suggestions would be appreciated. ANSWER: Suggestions range from “get more sleep” to “use meditation.” But in a recent book, stress and the manager, Dr. Karl Albrecht suggests the following to reduce stress on the job: Build rewarding, pleasant, cooperative relationships with as many of your colleagues and employees as you can. Don’t bite off more than you can chew. Take on only those assignments that you know you have time for. Build an especially effective and supportive relationship with your boss. Understand his or her problems and help the boss understand yours. Negotiate realistic deadlines on important projects with your boss. Be prepared to propose deadlines yourself, rather than have them imposed. Study the future. Learn as much as you can about likely coming events, so that you can anticipate them well in advance. Find time every day for detachment and relaxation. Take a walk now and then to keep your body refreshed and alert. Make a noise survey of your office area and find ways to reduce unnecessary racket. Get away from your office from time to time for a change of scene and a change of mind. Reduce the amount of trivia to which you give your attention. Delegate routine paperwork to others whenever possible. Limit interruptions. Try to schedule certain periods of “interruptability” each day and save other periods of time for your own purposes. Make sure you know how to delegate effectively. Don’t put off dealing with distasteful problems such as counseling a problem employee. Make a constructive “worry list.
