本周一公布的一項(xiàng)澳大利亞調(diào)查顯示，除兩個(gè)領(lǐng)域外，女性的領(lǐng)導(dǎo)能力都優(yōu)于男性。不過，男性在抓問題關(guān)鍵方面還是要略勝一籌。

針對(duì)澳大利亞1800名男性和女性主管和經(jīng)理的調(diào)查數(shù)據(jù)顯示，女性管理者更具戰(zhàn)略意識(shí)、冒險(xiǎn)精神、人際交往能力和創(chuàng)新精神，但在情緒穩(wěn)定方面與男性管理者差不多。

不過男性在管理工作的整體掌控及關(guān)注利益回報(bào)方面要強(qiáng)于女性。

該調(diào)查是由彼得？貝利就業(yè)咨詢公司為“領(lǐng)導(dǎo)能力指南項(xiàng)目”開展的。調(diào)查發(fā)現(xiàn)，女性管理者比男性管理者更勇于嘗試自己的想法或挑戰(zhàn)現(xiàn)狀。

“領(lǐng)導(dǎo)能力指南項(xiàng)目”主管吉里安？奧馬拉說：“女性有志向，她們大膽、淘氣、有趣，富有想象力。與男性相比，她們更加自信、更喜歡競(jìng)爭(zhēng)，愛幻想，表現(xiàn)能力也更強(qiáng)?！?/p>

但調(diào)查發(fā)現(xiàn)，與女性管理者相比，男性更關(guān)注工作本身，他們更專注于搞好工作而不是忙于處理各種關(guān)系。

奧馬拉說：“（在男性看來）他們唯一的游戲規(guī)則就是最終的利潤(rùn)。他們的人生動(dòng)力和喜好似乎都與收益、預(yù)算和利潤(rùn)有關(guān)。無(wú)論在家還是工作，他們都在為賺錢而奮斗?！?/p>

“此外，男性更關(guān)注工作本身，更專心于搞好工作而不是忙著處理各種復(fù)雜的人際關(guān)系。他們更能適應(yīng)層級(jí)、頭銜差別和升遷的過程。”

該調(diào)查是根據(jù)一項(xiàng)名叫“霍根評(píng)價(jià)體系”的國(guó)際研究型人格測(cè)試開展的，該評(píng)價(jià)體系常被各類組織用來挑選雇員。該調(diào)查結(jié)果將于5月14日在悉尼舉行的女性領(lǐng)導(dǎo)能力研討會(huì)上發(fā)表。

一項(xiàng)有關(guān)電腦鍵盤上細(xì)菌數(shù)量的最新研究稱，以后撿起落在鍵盤上的食物碎屑往嘴里塞之前可得想好了，這跟從馬桶座上撿東西吃差不多。

這項(xiàng)研究由英國(guó)消費(fèi)者雜志《Which?Computing》開展。該雜志讓一位微生物學(xué)家對(duì)倫敦某辦公室內(nèi)的33個(gè)電腦鍵盤，一個(gè)馬桶座和一個(gè)衛(wèi)生間門把手進(jìn)行細(xì)菌檢測(cè)。

經(jīng)檢測(cè)發(fā)現(xiàn)，其中有四個(gè)鍵盤對(duì)人體健康存在潛在威脅。有一個(gè)鍵盤上的細(xì)菌數(shù)量超標(biāo)150倍，比擦過的馬桶座還要臟5倍，這位微生物學(xué)家建議將其從辦公室搬走。

《Which?Computing》的編輯莎拉？德納在一份聲明說：“多數(shù)人都不太在意電腦上積聚的灰塵污垢，但如果你不注意清潔，你等于坐在馬桶旁吃午餐?！?/p>

研究發(fā)現(xiàn)，在辦公桌旁吃午餐是導(dǎo)致鍵盤細(xì)菌滋生的主要原因。吃飯過程中掉落的碎屑和食物會(huì)滋生大量細(xì)菌。

便后不洗手等不良的個(gè)人衛(wèi)生習(xí)慣也是導(dǎo)致鍵盤污染的重要原因。

但盡管不干凈的鍵盤會(huì)危害健康，該雜志對(duì)四千人開展的一項(xiàng)調(diào)查顯示，有10%的人從來不清潔電腦鍵盤，20%的人從不清潔鼠標(biāo)。

近一半（46%）的人一個(gè)月都不清潔一次鍵盤。

那么應(yīng)該如何清潔鍵盤呢？該雜志建議，可以將鍵盤（從主機(jī)上）拔出，然后將其倒過來?yè)u晃。
