While both the media and the courtroom seem to be full of stories these days about the most egregious examples of corporate cultures and executives gone astray,there is little in-depth treatment of the causes of this phenomenon.It is for this reason that I found a working paper produced by the MIT Workplace Center entitled,"From Here to Flexibility in Law Firms:Can It Be Done?",available at http://web.mit.edu/workplacecenter/,a fascinating read.Written by Laura Rikleen,head of a Boston Bar Association task force that studied the legal industry's disappointing attempts to implement flexible working practices,it provides an eye-opening inside look at the culture of the legal profession and the high cost that its predominant behaviors and values wreak on the industry.
According to Rikleen,"Law firms provide the perfect vantage point for a study of the overworked American.What we have in law firms,essentially,is an increased demand for billable hours and decreasing partnership opportunities.This combination leads to high attrition,poor morale and a variety of other problems."
Her task force points a finger directly at the profession's emphasis on `total commitment' as a basis to enter the partner ranks as the key debilitating factor affecting the work environment,attraction and retention of talent and work-family balance within the industry.It found that the profession's concept of total commitment translates to pushing all non-work obligations aside on a regular basis as a symbol of one's commitment.The task force concluded that this predominant ethos triggers a series of `vicious circles' in the industry - where solving one difficulty leads to another problem which in turn creates new difficulties.
In the legal profession,revenue growth is the key performance imperative and billable hours is the most important metric of performance.Attracting top talent to drive growth is a priority and salaries and bonuses go up every year in the competition for the best and brightest.Higher starting salaries necessitate revising the rest of the salary structure upward.As salaries rise,growth targets are increased.There is greater pressure to bill more and thus work longer hours.Stress levels increase,morale plunges,people leave.The greater the attrition,the greater the number of new associates needed each year to replace the attorneys that leave.And so,a vicious circle spins on and on.

虽然媒体和审判的故事似乎充满了这些天最严重的例子 企业文化主管误入歧途,有一点是在深入治疗造成这种现象.正因如此,我找到了一份工作文件,制作了题为麻省理工中心工地,"从这里到律师事务所灵活性:怎么做?" 备有http://web.mit.edu/workplacecenter/,经过一个令人神往.劳拉rikleen所著,波士顿律师公会团长专责小组,研究法律界失望试图推行弹性工作实践 它提供了一个眩目蒙古族的文化和法律界及成本高,其突出 行为和价值观造成的产业.据rikleen,"律师事务所提供了完美的高度研究工作过度美国人.我们在律师事务所、 基本上,是需求增加和减少结伙个小时.这个组合导致高耗、 士气低落及其他各种问题." 她的手指直接点专责小组界共承担重点`'作为进入 作为关键伙伴行列衰弱因素的工作环境,吸引和留住人才的工作和家庭之间的平衡.它发现,专业的理念来推动整体平移承诺所有非义务一旁有定期工作 作为标志之一的承诺.专责小组的结论是,这种旺盛引发一系列恶性循环''占全行业的解决 一个困难的问题,而这又导致另一个造成新的困难.在法律界,收入增长是必要的,关键绩效个小时是最重要的度量的表现.吸引尖子人才为重点,带动增长的工资和奖金每年上涨比赛 为最优秀.高起薪需要修改其余的工资结构向上.由于工资上涨、增长指标都增加了.还有更多更大的压力,从而延长工作时间法案.应力水平提高,士气下滑,人们离开.大损,更大的新同伙人数每年要更换律师,离开.因此,形成了恶性循环自旋等.
