Bosses looking to quickly increase productivity should ditch brainstorming meetings and instead invest in office plants, a study has found. 一项研究发现，希望快速提高办公效率的老板们应该抛弃头脑风暴似的会议而投资购买办公室植物盆栽。 Greenery in offices boosts work output by 15 percent, and challenges ‘the lean philosophy’ which holds that stark, uncluttered buildings are best for concentration. 办公室的绿色植物能够提升15%的工作量，也挑战了“精益思想”（Lean philosophy）管理学的理念：朴素整洁的建筑最有利于集中注意力。 In experiments at two large commercial offices in the UK and The Netherlands, it was found that plants significantly increased workplace satisfaction, self-reported levels of focus, and perceived air quality. 在英国和荷兰的两个大型商业办公室进行的实验发现，植物能显著地提高工作满意度、注意力和对空气质量的感知度。 “Simply enriching a previously Spartan space with plants served to increase productivity by 15 percent, ” said lead researcher Marlon Nieuwenhuis, from Cardiff University’s School of Psychology. “只要在先前斯巴达式的空间布置植物盆栽就有助于提高15%的效率，”来自卡迪夫大学心理学学院的首席研究员马龙·尼乌文赫伊斯（Marlon Nieuwenhuis）说。 |
