But do more varied jobs ___37___ greater productivity? There is evidence to suggest that ___38___variety certainly makes the worker’s life more enjoyable, it doesn’t __39___ make him work harder. As far as increasing productivity is concerned, then, ___40___ is not an important factor.
Other experts feel that giving the worker___41___ to do his job in his own way is important, and there is no doubt that this is true.

Another important ___45___ is how much each worker ___46___ to the product he is making. In most factories the worker ___47___only one small part of the product.

Perhaps if we ___55___ making their jobs more interesting, they will neither want more money, nor will shorter working hours be so important to them.
