The Meaning of Boredom in Organizational Life
探讨组织中无聊情绪的含义,指出无聊源于成员对工作过程缺乏个人意义,而压抑负面情绪会阻碍问题解决;理解无聊有助于释放活力、重建意义。
Lack of vitality and creativity within an organization is often attributed to widespread boredom and the underlying lack of personal meaning members associate with their work process. However, exploration of the causes of chronic patterns of boredom in organizational life is often blocked because of the indiscussibility and repression of powerful negative feelings that surface with the experience of boredom. By developing a better understanding of the meaning of boredom in organizations, organization members can learn to constructively confront their boredom, thereby expanding their awareness and unblocking repressed feelings. The net effect of exploring such deeper meanings and unblocking them is the infusion of vitality and new personal meaning into the experience of work.
