　　Bad bosses get promoted, not punished

　　How do people get ahead in the workplace? One way seems to be by making their subordinates miserable, according to a study released on Friday.

　　In the study presented at a conference on management last weekend, almost two-thirds of the 240 participants in an online survey said the local workplace tyrant was either never censured or was promoted for domineering ways.

　　"The fact that 64.2 percent of the respondents indicated that either nothing at all or something positive happened to the bad leader is rather remarkable -- remarkably disturbing," wrote the study's authors, Anthony Don Erickson, Ben Shaw and Zha Agabe of Bond University in Australia.

　　Despite their success in the office, spiteful supervisors can cause serious malaise for their subordinates, the study suggested, citing nightmares, insomnia, depression and exhaustion as symptoms of serving a brutal boss.

　　The authors advocated immediate intervention by industry chiefs to stop fledgling office authoritarians from rising up the ranks.

　　"As with any sort of cancer, the best alternative to prevention is early detection," they wrote.

　　They faulted senior managers for not recognizing the signs of workplace strife wrought by bad bosses. "The leaders above them who did nothing, who rewarded and promoted bad leaders ... represent an additional problem."

　　The study was presented at the annual meeting of the Academy of Management, a research and teaching organization with nearly 17,000 members, from Sunday to Wednesday in Philadelphia.

　　怎样才能获得升职机会？据上周五公布的一项研究，其中一个途径就是“压迫”下属。

　　该研究在上周末的一个管理学术研讨会上公布。在一项共有240人参加的在线调查中，近三分之二的人称，单位里的“暴君”不仅不会因对下属专横跋扈受到责备，反而能获得晋升机会。

　　研究报告的撰写者、澳大利亚邦德大学的安东尼·堂·埃里克森、本·肖和查·阿格比在报告中提到：“64.2%的受访者指出，坏领导要么‘安然无恙’，要么反倒走起了‘好运’，这一事实实在令人担忧。”

　　研究表明，坏老板事业上的成功是建立在下属的“痛苦”之上的。在坏老板手下做事，员工会出现做噩梦、失眠、抑郁和疲惫等不良身体症状。
