Let me mention a couple of factors:

讓我提幾點(diǎn)因素：

About people:

關(guān)于人：

There’s the official possibility to work in flexible schedule.

他們很可能工作時(shí)間靈活。

Germans work at their workplace. Nothing else. No (much) time to coffee-corner chat, or corridor-rumours.

德國(guó)人在工作地點(diǎn)工作，別無(wú)其他。沒(méi)有時(shí)間到咖啡角閑聊或者到走廊聊八卦。

Germans love their privacy. Once out of the workplace, their life is theirs.

德國(guó)人注重隱私，一踏出辦公區(qū)，他們的生活就只屬于他們。

No night or weekend calls.

晚上和周末是不會(huì)有工作電話的。

About organizations:

關(guān)于組織：

A schedule, once arranged, is a holy thing.

一份時(shí)刻表一旦被安排就是一件神圣的事。

Because of the previous point, arranged schedules always make sense.

由于上一點(diǎn)，安排的時(shí)刻表常能起作用。

Working extra hours is not a proof of commitment, but a proof of inefficiency.

加班并不能證明你負(fù)責(zé)反而證明你效率低。

About quality:

關(guān)于質(zhì)量：

Outstanding quality in their products (of any kind) is the main proud of any German.

卓越的產(chǎn)品品質(zhì)(任何一項(xiàng)產(chǎn)品)是每個(gè)德國(guó)人最大的驕傲。

“Genau” (exact, exactly, precise, precisely) is one of the preferred words

“精確”是他們最喜歡的詞匯。
