Flow experiences at work: for high need achievers alone?
两项研究考察了员工技能与挑战的匹配度以及成就需求对积极情绪、内在任务兴趣和额外角色表现的影响，发现只有高成就需求者在高技能高挑战时体验更佳，且积极情绪起中介作用。
Abstract Applying Csikszentmihalyi's ( 1990 ) flow theory of optimal experience to the workplace, two studies examined the relationships of employees' perceived skill and challenge at work and need for achievement with their positive mood, intrinsic task interest, and extra‐role performance. Among achievement‐oriented employees only, high skill and challenge was associated with greater positive mood, task interest, and performance than other skill/challenge combinations. Additionally, positive mood mediated the interactive relationship of skill/challenge and need for achievement with performance. Copyright © 2005 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
