23、ct and Time PressureAuthor: Michael Bittman, Judith E. BrownThe International Telecommunication Union reported 4.6 billion mobile accounts worldwide at the end of 2009, about 3.3 billion more than fixed line phones. As mobile phones have overtaken fixed line phones in usage, the 41 impact of the mob

24、ile phone on worklife balance has raised considerable concern. Yet the authors of this paper conclude that these fears are exaggerated. Although the pace of work and time pressures may be greater since the arrival of the mobile phone, the technology also allows for increased 42 and the “softening” o

25、f schedules, meaning that plans can be rearranged to adjust peoples personal or work lives.The authors studied a sample of nearly 2,000 workers who completed questionnaires and kept diaries to determine when, how often, and in what 43 these workers used their mobile phones. The researchers also eval

26、uated records of phone traffic and usage reports from participants handsets. The data revealed that rather than intruding on leisure time, the phones “always-on” nature allowed employees to better 44 their schedules and avoid worklife pressures. And although concerns about mobile phones often assume

27、 that they tie up people to work, the call records indicated that they are used 45 to stay in touch with family and friends. 46 calls accounted for 61 percent of all calls; only 21 percent were work related.However, the data did reveal a correlation between mobile phones and workplace pressure, espe

28、cially among male respondents, who were more 47 to report that the mobile phone made them feel short on time. The authors argue that workers stress is raised because the mobile phone has enabled management to stay in 48 contact with them. Still, the authors did not find out any 49 to suggest that th

29、e mobile phone stretched the work time beyond employees ability to deal with. III.

30、artment of Labour statistics show that there is an oversupply of college-trained workers. And this oversupply is 50 .

31、 trained people to compete for jobs that arent there.
