BEATING BOREDOM AT WORK

摘要

Delve below the surface of many workplaces today and you will find plenty of bored, disengaged and disenchanted employees.rnThe statistics bear this out. Half of graduates are regularly bored at work and those in administration, manufacturing, sales and marketing are the most likely to be wishing their working lives away.rnIn surveys, 55 per cent of all US employees reported that they were 'not engaged' in their work, whilst a third of Britons in 2004 claimed to be bored at work for most of the day. My own research suggests that boredom is the second most suppressed emotion in the workplace (after anger).
