WATCHING THE CLOCK: GROUP PACING BEHAVIOR UNDER DYNAMIC DEADLINES.
研究了38个群体在稳定和变化截止日期下的时间关注与任务节奏,发现群体对时间的关注随截止日期临近而逐渐增加,而非在中间点突然增加,但任务转换仍发生在时间中点附近。
Attention to time is generally regarded as the catalyst that motivates groups to pace work under deadlines. We tested this assumption in 38 groups, some working under stable deadlines and others working under changed deadlines. Our results indicate that groups steadily increase attention to time as deadlines near, rather than sharply increasing such attention at the midpoint, but they engage in task transitions at or near the midpoint of allotted time.
