The influence of task challenge on skill utilization, affective wellbeing and intrapreneurial behaviour
研究通过荷兰和佛兰德公务员的真实挑战任务，发现任务挑战能提升技能利用和内部创业行为，但对情感幸福感无显著影响，对管理者设计挑战性任务有参考价值。
This study examines and theorizes the effects of task challenge on skill utilization, affective wellbeing and intrapreneurial behaviour among civil servants through a real-life challenging assignment, which was part of a unique Dutch and Flemish bottom-up organized event called ‘Train Your Colleague’. Results of a short-term longitudinal study indicate that, as expected, task challenge is positively related to skill utilization and intrapreneurial behaviour but, unexpectedly, not to affective wellbeing. These results suggest that challenging assignments may be important tools to enhance employees’ skill utilization and intrapreneurial behaviour at the workplace. Implications for theory and practice are discussed.
