ISSUE95---People work more productively in teams than individually. Teamwork requires cooperation, which motivates people much more than individual competition does.
个人竞争可以促进工作效率
竞争带来的不利提高效率的方面
合作可以弥补这些缺陷,激发工作效率
Some hold the opinion that individual competition can best motivate people to work productively. Even if competition will grant people an good opportunity to work creatively, I argue that it also have latent limitation which can hamper people from working efficiently. In this sense, cooperation can be a good way to eliminate them.
Sometimes individual competition may prod people to productively work by lighting up the strong desire to court honor and reputation in human nature. Everyone is concerned about his own living ambience and make great effort to change it in terms of individual interests. However, this transition is not a personal affair on the grounds that resource and environment in a group or society is unfortunately limited, and also the longing for better life is harbored by every rational mind rooted in our instincts. In this sense, competition becomes a fair method to solve this contradiction. The more effort he makes, the more things he will acquire. This factor stirs everyone's potential to become a champion in the arena. Consequently, the efficient work is produced by individual competition.
However competition contributes to the effective work, evidence of its deficiency will not permit us to deny that overrating of competition may bring us low efficiency results. For one thing, competition is relied on the conception that maximum of one's own objective with no regard to hopes and feelings of others. The selfishness, the avarice, and the boundless lust of dominating more resources aroused by competition may lead to conflicts between individual and individual. These discrepancies can put sand in the wheels of high efficiency of productive work and distract people from improving their work quality, ultimately make personal achievement counterproductive. For another, with the rapid development of modern technology, a complicated project is much more difficult for individuals to efficiently accomplish. It is true that personal competition may be beneficial to solve one or two important problems, but the complexity and multiplicity of one project makes individual competition increasingly bootless. Neither the Apollo mission depended on the capability of several people, nor did the first explosion of nuclear weapon in China. In a word, competition between individuals cannot solely boost personal efficiency, let alone the whole project.
Based on the two main reasons above, teamwork, maintaining the significance of cooperation, can counterbalance the damper of personal competition. To every person in a team, cooperation can help people to build mutual trust, to remove conflicts hindering them from increasing work productivity, to enhance group morale, and eventually to maximize the capability and efficiency of every individual. Again, a person in a team will have a good chance to observe how others cope with the same thing, what others think, and what advantages of others he can learn from. People working with each other can obtain rapid self-improvement. Also, cooperation will motivate people's creativity and imagination, because ideas can be shared in a group, which makes one person gain different perspectives to broaden his own horizon and correct preceding ones step by step. All of the benefits of cooperation put together illustrates that it can avoid the disadvantages of individual competition, lower the whole risk of decision, and motivate people in a team to work more competently and productively.
On balance, we frequently believe that it is single competition that maximizes individual working efficiency. Faced the deficiency of single competition, however, cooperation can compensate for these disadvantages and motivate people more creatively. For this reason, people in a group can work more productively than individual competition.
