Daily engagement and productivity: The importance of the speed of engagement.
研究提出“投入速度”概念，即员工开始工作时快速进入专注和精力充沛状态的速度，通过现场实验发现其比投入水平更能预测每日生产力，并验证了简单心理干预（如脱离家庭或重新投入工作）能提升投入速度。
People often drag their feet getting started at work each morning, with a rather unclear sense of the implications on their daily productivity. Drawing on boundary transitions theory as a conceptual lens, we introduce and investigate the concept of the speed of engagement-the quickness with which an employee becomes focused and energized upon beginning work. We explore the productivity implications of this phenomenon, as well as the psychological processes people use to capitalize on a quick transition to work. Two experience sampling field studies-one of which featured a within-person field experiment testing the efficacy of two interventions we designed for use on employees' smartphones-support our theorizing. Our findings highlight the importance of the speed of engagement-over and above the level of engagement-for daily productivity levels. They also reveal that simple proactive steps to psychologically disengage from home or reattach to work increase the speed of engagement and lead to more productive days at work.
