Things Seen and Unseen: Investigating Experience-Based Qualities of Attention in a Dynamic Work Setting
研究在动态工作环境（庭审律师）中，经验如何帮助从业者获得两种关键注意力品质：注意广度（关注更多事件）和注意整合（发现事件中的机会），从而看到更多事件和可能性。
While interest in the topic of attention has a long history in organizational studies, little research has investigated what qualities of attention are most pertinent to working professionals—and how these qualities may be attained. Through the study reported here, I elaborate theory concerning the qualities of attention in a dynamic work setting (trial law). Specifically, I identify the importance of two qualities of attention—attentional breadth and attentional integration—and examine how these qualities connect to the experiences individuals accrue within the focal context. My findings indicate that, through the acquisition of experience, individuals become attentive to a wide range of events surrounding them (via attentional breadth) and attuned to the opportunities that reside within these events (via attentional integration). Therefore, in achieving these two qualities of attention, individuals are able to see not only more events but also more possibilities.
