问题     In an attempt to improve the overall performance of clerical workers, many companies have introduced computerized performance monitoring and control systems(CPMCS)that record and report a worker’s computer-driven activities. However, at least one study has shown that such monitoring may not be having the desired effect. In the study, researchers asked monitored clerical workers and their supervisors how assessments of productivity affected supervisors’ ratings of workers’ performance. In contrast to unmonitored workers doing the same work, who without exception identified the most important element in their jobs as customer service, the monitored workers and their supervisors all responded that productivity was the critical factor in assigning ratings. This finding suggested that there should have been a strong correlation between a monitored worker’s productivity and the overall rating the worker received. However, measures of the relationship between overall rating and individual elements of performance clearly supported the conclusion that supervisors gave considerable weight to criteria such as attendance accuracy, and indications of customer satisfaction.
    It is possible that productivity may be a "hygiene factor"; that is, if it is too low, it will hurt the overall rating. But the evidence suggests that beyond the point at which productivity becomes "good enough, " higher productivity per se is unlikely to improve a rating.
It can be inferred that the author of the passage discusses "unmonitored workers" primarily in order to______.
选项 A、compare the ratings of these workers with the ratings of monitored workers
B、provide an example of a case in which monitoring might be effective
C、provide evidence of an inappropriate use of CPMCS
D、emphasize the effect that CPMCS may have on workers’ perceptions of their jobs
答案D
解析 根据短文可以推断，作者讨论“不受监管的工人”主要是为了强调电脑化业绩监控系统可能影响工人们对自己工作的感觉。根据第一段第四句，不受监管的工人认为他们的工作提供客户服务，受监管的工人认为他们的工作是提高生产率。由此可以推断，电脑化业绩监控系统可能影响工人门对自己工作的看法。
