Meetings and individual work during the workday: Examining their interdependent impact on knowledge workers’ energy.
通过两项经验抽样研究，发现会议与个人工作的时间分配和压力互补性影响知识工作者的能量，会议时间比例高会减少微休息活动从而损害能量，而早晨的压力互补性则有益于能量。
between them influence workday energy. We conducted two experience sampling studies, one with 245 knowledge workers from diverse organizations and the other with 167 employees from two technology companies. We found a time allocation effect, such that for a given period of the workday (i.e., the morning or the afternoon), the greater the proportion of time a knowledge worker spent in meetings relative to individual work, the less this person engaged in microbreak activities for replenishment during that period. The reduction in microbreak activities, in turn, harmed energy. We also found a pressure complementarity effect in the morning (though not in the afternoon), such that when a meeting involved low pressure in the presence of high-pressure individual work or vice versa, when a meeting involved high pressure in the presence of low-pressure individual work, such complementarity benefited energy. Overall, this research advances our understanding of how everyday work activities relate to knowledge workers' energy and sheds new light on the issue of work and workday designs.
