若无远虑，何以致远？ How does thinking about our future change where we are going? Part 4 来自《悉尼商务见解》，作者Angela Knox为悉尼大学商学院人力资源管理和劳资关系副教授。Susan Ainsworth为墨尔本大学组织学系教授。 正文中英transcript： Somewhat paradoxically, our findings highlight the fragmented and incomplete nature of ideas about both technology and the future of work. We found that ideas were typically constructed around the present and they depicted problems and solutions centred on employment relations.有些矛盾的是，我们的研究结果暴露了关于科技和未来工作的想法的碎片化和不完整。我们发现，这些想法通常围绕当下予以构建，着重描述以雇佣关系为中心的问题和解决方案。 Rather than the Inquiry being about the future of work and technology, it ultimately tells us more about current ideas regarding the present state of employment relations and reveals a lack of vision regarding the future. Typically, stakeholders focused on problems being experienced in the present. Unions emphasised the failure of existing regulation to protect workers and the need to increase employment regulation, for example, whereas employers and employer associations frequently emphasised the need to decrease employment regulation in order to increase flexibility. 与其说该调查的主题是关于工作和科技的未来，不如说它最终揭示了更多关于雇佣关系现状的想法，且对未来缺乏远见。在通常情况下，利益相关者更关注当前。例如，工会强调现有法规未能保护劳动者，需要加强就业监管，而雇主和雇主协会经常强调需要减少就业监管，以增加灵活性。 What is missing is a coherent, concrete vision of the future – Australian workers will benefit from more secure, better quality jobs that spur innovation and productivity, for example – from which we can create analytical bridges and the pathways that enable us to navigate into this future. 现在缺少的是一种连贯一致且具体实在的未来愿景——例如，澳大利亚劳动者将从更有保障、更优质的工作中受益，从而刺激创新并提高生产力——我们可以据此创建分析性桥梁和路径，使这种未来在实践中可行。 #英语口语 #荔枝英语 #雅思 #雅思口语 #托福 #GRE
