.a. at bain, direct help that partners have given colleagues will be evaluated.b. at ernst & young, consultants contribution to the knowledge asset of the firm will be evaluated.c. at bain, partners are eager to share knowledge with colleagues.d. at ernst & young, consultants are evaluated at performance reviews along five dimensions.4. the author of this passage would most likely agree that .a. performance management processes by hr can make little contribution to knowledge management.b. the cascading of corporate core values for knowledge-sharing to individuals could be one starting point for the performance management process.c. knowledge-sharing cant be included as an element of a competency framework.d. taking positive steps to exchange relevant information and knowledge isnt an example of positive behavior in meeting competency expectations for knowledge-sharing.5. according to the passage, performance management processes by hr can make an important contribution to knowledge management through the following measures except .a. by providing for behavioral expectations which are related to knowledge-sharing to be definedb. by ensuring that actual behaviors are reviewed c. by ensuring that actual behaviors are rewarded by financial or non-financial meansd. by building networks which provide for knowledge sharinganswer:1.d 2.a 3.c 4.b 5.d（二）128138t-group stands for training group, which is not a very helpful description. it is also referred to as sensitivity training, group dynamics, and group relations training. t-group has three aims: 1. to increase sensitivity-the ability to perceive accurately how others are reacting to ones behavior. 2. to increase diagnostic ability-the ability to perceive accurately the state of relationships between others. 3. to increase action skill-the ability to carry out the skillful behavior required by the situation.in a t-group, the trainer will explain the aims of the program and may encourage discussion and contribute his or her own reactions. but he or she does not take a strong lead and the group is largely left to its own devices to develop a structure that takes account of the goals of both the members of the group and the trainer provides a climate where the group members are sufficiently trusting of one another to discuss their own behavior. they do this by giving “feedback” or expressing their reaction to one another. member may not always accept comments about themselves, but as the t-group develops they will increasingly understand how some aspects of their behavior are hidden to them and will, therefore, be well on the way to an increase in sensitivity, diagnostic ability, and action skill.follow-up studies have noted three principle areas of change following the attendance of trainees at an external t-group laboratory:1. increased openness, receptivity, and tolerance of differences.2. increased operational skill in interpersonal relations, with overtones of increased capacity for collaboration.3. improved understanding and diagnostic awareness of self, others, and interactive processes in groups. t-groups have been attacked because of the possibility of negative or detrimental effects. but none of the follow-up studies has detected any significant problems. a more valid basis for doubt is that it has been difficult to prove that they have been cost effective for organizations who have used them on company or have strongly supported external programs.this criticism could be leveled at any other form of group training or, indeed, most off-the-job training. the degree to which it can be invalidated will depend on the effectiveness of the training design and of the trainer.t-group laboratories in their purest form are unlikely ever to become a major part of company training programs, but the group dynamics approach has valid uses in the modified forms.1. this article might most likely be extracted from the paper about .a.human resource planningb.performance evaluationc.international human resource managementd.training and development2. t-group is referred to as the following except .a.sensitivity training,b.on-the-job trainingc.group dynamicsd.group relations training3. the author of this passage would most likely agree that .a. in a t-group, the trainer will take a strong lead.b. in a t-group, members may always accept comments about themselves.c. in a t-group, the trainer should provide a climate where the group members are sufficiently trusting of one another to discuss their own behaviors.d. in a t-group, members dont express their reaction to one another.4.according to the passage, which of the following cant change the attendance of trainees at an external t-group laboratory? .a. poor effectiveness of the training designb. improved understanding and diagnostic awareness of self and othersc. increased openness, receptivity, and tolerance of differencesd. increased operational skill in interpersonal relations5. from this passage, we can infer that .a. t-group laboratories are likely be used as a major part of training programs by company.b. there is no criticism on t-group laboratories.c. if t-group laboratories are modified well, it has also valid uses.d. t-group laboratories have no use for company.answer:1.d 2.b 3.c 4.a 5.c四、写作（共20分）某公司欲招聘一位会计主管（chief accountant），需要人力资源管理部门为其编制一份职位说明书（job description），假如公司总经理要求你来完成这项工作，请你用英文完成以下职位说明书。job descriptionposition department accountable to salary/pay grade _ 35 40 hrs/wk 20 35 hrs/wk less than 20 hrs/wkjob summary responsibilities/daily tasks qualifications relations of the position to others in the company answer:(only for reference)job descriptionposition chief accountant department financial department accountable to cfo salary/pay grade 3 yes 35 40 hrs/wk 20 35 hrs/wk less than 20 hrs/wkjob summarywork closely with the companys cfo, and ensure that all of the responsibilities pertaining to the accounting department are met.develop and direct the activities of the professional staff involved with the financial aspects of operations, including forecasting, planning, budgeting, credit and collections, cost accounting, and financial control systems.responsibilities/daily tasksreport to the cfo and be responsible for all accounting functions. providing analytical budgetary & financial planning/reporting support to senior management.establishing and maintaining internal controls,external financial reporting. interface with external auditors, handling all corporate tax matters. qualificationsmaster degree or above;at least 5 years experience in accounting work;work experience in foreign or jv company is preferred;willing to travel.relations of the position to others in the companyadministration department; marketing department; manufacturing department; r&d department etal.上海市职业资格鉴定企业人力资源管理人员专业英语试卷2一、英汉互译（每题2分，共30分）1. career counseling2. cross-training3. employee leasing4. expatriate5. on-the-job training, ojt6. pay grade7. perquisites8. reengineering9. spot bonus10. total quality management (tqm)11. 同事评估12. 情景面试13. 任务分析14. 工作设计15. 晋升answer:1. 职业咨询 2. 交叉培训 3. 员工租借 4. 外派雇员 5. 在职培训 6. 工资等级 7. 津贴 8. 流程再造 9. 即时奖金 10. 全面质量管理 11. peer appraisal 12. situational interview 13. task analysis 14. job design 15. promotion二、单项选择（每题2分，共20分）1. performance appraisal methods can be broadly classified as either , , or approaches.a. trait, behavioral, judgmentalb. trait, behavioral, resultsc. behavioral, judgmental, resultsd. behavioral, judgmental, attitudinal2.the area from which employers obtain certain types of workers from within the organization is known as the .a. internal labor marketb. regional labor marketc. recruiting aread. external labor market3. coaching is a technique that can be used to develop individual skills, knowledge, and attitudes.a. on-the-jobb. off-the-jobc. web-based trainingd.classroom training4. the primary reason why organizations train new employees is to .a.increase their knowledge, skill, and ability levelb.help trainees achieve personal career goalsc.comply with government regulationsd.improve the work environment5. the hr department in an overseas unit must be particularly responsive to all of the following environments except .a. political b. culturalc. technologicald. legal6. which of the following is not a primary impact that technology has had on hrm?
