While some 13 million Americans are out of work these days, those still with jobs might have a strange new thing to worry about--getting a promotion can be bad for you, a new study suggests。
虽然大约有1300万的美国人现在没有工作,不过那些有工作的人现在可能要去担心一件奇怪的事情:根据一项新的研究显示,升职可能对你有害。
British researchers found that when people get promoted, they suffer on average about 10 percent more mental strain and are less likely to find the time to go to the doctor。
英国的研究人员发现,当人们获得提升时,他们平均会增加10%的精神压力,而且还往往找不出时间去看医生。
"Getting a promotion at work is not as great as many people think. Our research finds that the mental health of managers typically deteriorates after a job promotion, and in a way that goes beyond merely a short-term change," said Chris Boyce of the University of Warwick. "There are no indications of any health improvements for promoted people other than reduced attendance at GP surgeries [i.e. doctors visits], which may itself be something to worry about rather than celebrate."
“在工作上获得提升并不像很多人想的那么棒。我们的研究发现,经理的心理健康往往在提升之后下降,而且在某些方面,这不仅仅是个短期的变化。”Warwick大学的Chris Boyce说,“没有任何一种迹象显示在获得提升之后,健康水平也会提高。唯一的变化是去看医生的次数变少了,而这本身可能也是需要担心而非庆祝的事情。”
