员工对于工作时间过得快或慢的感受,是工作的一种基本体验。研究发现「时间可预测性」和「任务可分割性」这两个新的工作时间设计特征,能令员工认为工作时间过得较快。具有高度时间可预测性的工作,能避免员工经历进行下一个任务前不确定的等待。以时间标记来把一大段的工作时间分割成多个小段,即为具有任务可分割性的工作。我们测试了一个研究模型,显示时间可预测性和任务可分割性均会影响员工对于工作时间过得快或慢的感受,以及其工作绩效。研究涵盖五项研究:两项实验建立了时间可预测性和任务可分割性的有效性(研究1a和1b);在一家工厂进行实地研究,调查不同时间工作设计所导致的自然结果(研究2);建立一个以员工及其主管为主的抽样模型,进行企业内部实地研究(研究3);使用网上调查来连系我们的研究模型与其他工作设计文献(研究4)。总括而言,以上的各项研究均支持以一种新的时间方式来设计和规划工作内容。

机构时常依赖同侪绩效评级来分析雇员在工作上独特且难以被察觉的贡献。尽管此举行之有效,然而同侪之间会出现对受评人评级的准确度及资讯效用的差异。在此研究中,我们建立且测试的理论显示,评核者的社交网络地位能有系统地解释上述差异。根据讯息处理理论,我们假设在社交网络中占据核心(外围)位置的成员可获更多(更少)有关受评人的表现的第一及第二手资讯,这与准确的绩效评级关联性更强(较弱)。为了在互相关联的场景设置下取得「真实」的绩效表现评分,我们采用外部标准比较方法作为我们的论点的基准参数。这样,既定的绩效预测指标(即受评人的一般心理能力 [GMA] 和责任心)和同侪绩效评级的有效性系数会增强,从而反映社交网络核心(外围)成员更准确(准备度较低)的评级。在研究一中,我们使用一家技术初创公司的机构网络去研究核心及外围成员对受评人绩效方面的GMA有效性系数。于研究二中,我们尝试在团队网络中复制及延伸研究一的结论,并使用受评人的责任心作为基准指标。两项研究结果均支持上述假设,即核心社交网络成员比外围成员提供更清楚、更准确的同侪绩效评级。
