Boredom at Work: A Neglected Concept
指出几乎所有工作者都会经历无聊，但现有研究仅能解释简单任务的单调性。作者提出更广泛的原因框架，包括任务、环境、个人及匹配度，并探讨应对无聊的行为选择，为后续研究提供方向。
Nearly everyone experiences episodes of boredom at work from time to time, regardless of the nature of their job. Previous research on industrial monotony is unable to explain boredom on any but the simplest of tasks. A broader view of the causes of boredom, including attributes of the task, environment, person, and person-environment fit, is proposed. Individual choices of response to feelings of boredom are also considered, and a number of research propositions are suggested.
