惭愧，问几个AI题的含义-AIA032-motivating employees-AIA036-manager function-Zeros修改标题

A32. “A company is not responsible for motivating employees; instead, motivation is the employee’s own responsibility.”

Discuss the extent to which

A36. “A manager should function primarily as an advocate for the employees whom he or she supervises.”

Discuss the extent to which

其中的几个关键词的含义有点模糊，所以搞不太清楚句子的含义。

谢谢！

32 我觉得是：一家公司不应该负责去激发它的员工（努力工作），员工有责任自己来寻找这种动机。

36一个经理的主要职责是做他所监督的雇员的拥护者。

不晓得翻的对不？聊做参考，好象CD的资料里面有翻译你可以找找看。

非常感谢！

36还是没感觉，advocate 当“拥护者”吗？，整个是什么意思呢？

CD里的翻译都是老题的翻译，新题基本都没有

36.我觉得潜台词就是说经理是应该做一个决策的人让他的员工去执行还是做一个监督和拥护者让他的员工去决策？好象很类似老题的5

应该是case by case的论述，不同的行业不同的场合是不一样的。

非常感谢，马上要考了，不再多想了，只希望别碰到这样的题

I think there is some gap in the understanding of the advocate...

To my understanding, it is as follows,

"Advocate" means hold a positive view. For example, if you are working for the HR department, and your boss is a HR VP, he always communicateS with other colleagues or other departments with a positive view on you, rather than a negative one, and sometimes he also recommend you to join some important projects of the company.

Personally, I agree with the argument because

1) it can motivate the staff if he knows that boss is an advocate of himself
2) The staff feel appreciated by the boss
3) The advocacy provides staff opportunities to step up
4) of course, the boss should not exaggerate how good the staff is. If the staff screw up, then his reputation will be ruined.

My thoughts only... welcome comments.
