Positive Social Interactions and the Human Body at Work: Linking Organizations and Physiology
探讨积极社交互动如何影响人体生理系统,提出将生理数据纳入组织研究的新问题,并讨论对员工健康和能力的实际意义。
Human physiological systems are highly responsive to positive social interactions, but the organizational importance of this finding largely has been unexplored. After reviewing extant research, we illustrate how consideration of the physiology of positive social interactions at work opens new research questions about how positive social interactions affect human capacity and how organizational contexts affect employee health and physiological resourcefulness. We also address the practical implications of integrating physiological data into organizational research. Our paper invites a fuller consideration of how employees' bodies are affected by everyday work interactions and, in so doing, encourages a stronger tie between human physiology and organizational research.
