Management jargon can alienate staff and leave bosses looking untrustworthy and weak, according to a survey commissioned by Investors in People.

“人力投資者”委托進(jìn)行的一項調(diào)查表明，管理套話會使員工產(chǎn)生疏離感，同時會讓老板顯得不堪信任、缺乏實力。

Managers who spoke of "singing from the same hymn sheet" could find themselves singing solo, the survey said.

根據(jù)調(diào)查結(jié)果，那些念叨著“口徑一致、同聲同氣”的管理人員將會發(fā)現(xiàn)自己是在唱獨(dú)角戲。

Workers said such phrases as "blue sky thinking", "the helicopter view" and "heads up" could lead to alienation and low morale in the office.

員工們反映，“創(chuàng)新思維”、“總體視角”和“給你提個醒兒”之類的短語會造成疏遠(yuǎn)的感覺、打擊辦公室里的士氣。

The survey, carried out by YouGov to mark the 15th anniversary of Investors in People, a government-backed training initiative, found 37 percent of the 2,900 questioned believed jargon led to mistrust and encouraged a feeling of inadequacy.

“人力投資者”是政府支持的一個培訓(xùn)項目。由“你說了算”(英國著名民意調(diào)查機(jī)構(gòu))實施的此次調(diào)查旨在紀(jì)念該項目誕生15周年。調(diào)查發(fā)現(xiàn)，2900名受訪者中有37%認(rèn)為套話會導(dǎo)致猜疑情緒，同時助長對管理人員能力的不信任感。

Bosses seemed oblivious to the dangers, with more than half, (55 percent) believing it to be harmless.

老板們似乎對這樣的危險茫無所知，他們中有超過一半的人(55%)認(rèn)為套話沒什么害處。

That could explain why workers perceived it to be on the rise, with nearly 40 percent believing it was increasingly creeping into office banter.

這就解釋了為什么員工會覺得套話之風(fēng)正處于上升勢頭——將近40%的員工認(rèn)為辦公室閑言笑語中的套話越來越多。

Nearly 40 percent of workers surveyed believed jargon betrayed a lack of confidence, while one in five thought those who used it were untrustworthy or trying to cover something up.

接近40%的員工覺得套話是缺乏自信的表現(xiàn)，20%的員工認(rèn)為使用套話的人要么是不堪重任，要么就是想掩蓋什么事情。

Nicola Clark, director at Investors in People, said: "Whilst jargon can be useful shorthand at times, managers need to be more alert to when and how they use it."

“人力投資者”總監(jiān)尼古拉·克拉克說：“有些時候套話的確簡短好用，但管理人員也應(yīng)該更加注意運(yùn)用的時機(jī)和方法。”

"Cutting jargon out of everyday communication is clearly a challenge. However, as our research shows, if used inappropriately, jargon can be an obstacle to understanding, which ultimately can impact on an individual's performance and an organisation's productivity."

“在日常交流中戒掉套話顯然是件不太容易的事情，但正如我們的調(diào)查所顯示的那樣，用得不合時宜的套話會成為交流的障礙，最終會影響到個人的工作表現(xiàn)和整個機(jī)構(gòu)的工作效率。”
