Researchers suggest that if government jobs are seen as corrupt, those who are honest might not want them. Those who cheat at simple tasks are more likely to want to work in government, research suggests.
調(diào)查發(fā)現(xiàn),如果政府在民眾心目中覺得很腐敗,那么越是正直的人越不屑去政府工作,相反騙子卻很想要去政府工作,因?yàn)槿玺~得水嘛。
Researchers at Harvard University and the University of Pennsylvania in the US set small challenges for more than 600 students to see whether they performed honestly in them.
來自美國哈佛大學(xué)的賓夕法尼亞大學(xué)的研究人員對600多名學(xué)生做了些簡單的試驗(yàn),判斷他們是否誠實(shí)。
In one, students had to throw a dice unobserved and report what number they rolled.?The higher the number, the more they would be paid.
在一個實(shí)驗(yàn)中,研究者讓學(xué)生們?nèi)喻蛔?,結(jié)果是多少,他們就會得到相應(yīng)的報酬。
Cheating among the students seemed to be rampant as an improbably large proportion of them reported rolling high numbers.
在這項(xiàng)實(shí)驗(yàn)中,作弊的同學(xué)看上去有很多,因?yàn)樗麄兇蠖鄶?shù)都報了一個很高的數(shù)字。
The students who appeared to have cheated were 6.3% more likely to say they wanted to work in government, the researchers found.
結(jié)果發(fā)現(xiàn),越是希望在扔骰子上作弊的學(xué)生,越是想要(多出6.3%的比率)去政府工作。
In another task, students were asked to divide up a sum of rupees between themselves and a charity of their choice.?For each rupee they donated, the sum given to the charity would double.
另一個測試中,學(xué)生需將一筆錢分出捐獻(xiàn)給慈善的和留給自己的。每個自己多分一份錢,給慈善機(jī)構(gòu)的錢就會相應(yīng)翻倍。
Those who held on to more of the rupees for themselves were again more likely to want to want to work in government jobs, the study found.
結(jié)果顯示,那些把更多錢分給自己的學(xué)生,也更希望在政府工作。
Rema Hanna, an associate professor at the Kennedy School of Government at Harvard?and co-author Shing-yi Wang, an assistant professor at the University of Pennsylvania's Wharton School, wrote: “Overall, we find that dishonest individuals - as measured by the dice task - prefer to enter government service.
來自哈佛大學(xué)肯尼迪政府管理學(xué)院的副教授Rema Hanna和來自賓夕法尼亞大學(xué)沃頓商學(xué)院的副教授Shing-yi Wang為調(diào)查結(jié)果寫道,“我們發(fā)現(xiàn),通過仍骰子游戲來判斷出的不誠實(shí)學(xué)生,更傾向于去政府工作?!?/div>
“Importantly, we show that cheating on this task is also predictive of fraudulent behaviours by real government officials.”
