Effects of external and internal interruptions on boredom at work: two studies

Article Abstract:

Studies show that indirect interruptions are more likely to be associated with boredom as compared to clear external interruptions and no interruptions at all. Moreover, interruptions by non-task-related thoughts while working can increase boredom and decrease job satisfaction. On the other hand, boredom on simple task that needs little attention may be decreased by external interruptions. However, those interruptions do not have an effect on boredom and satisfaction toward a simple task requiring attention.

Forced succession in the chief-executive officer (CEO) seat tends to generate a negative impact on corporate performance, as revealed by a study involving CEOs working for publicly traded firms in the US. Results suggest that companies practicing routine CEO succession are likely to undergo massive organizational changes. Such is particularly prevalent in companies employing the services of an outside CEO successor.
