To Cooperate Is To Sacrifice: An Interview With Yves Morieux

Un’interessante intervista a Yves Morieux che mette a fuoco come la complessità dei mercati generi strutture organizzative e processi sempre più complicati con effetti deleteri sull’engagement delle persone:

"Today’s talk focused intensely on engagement and cooperation. If you are in the management or HR world, you will have undoubtedly heard just how poorly most employees are engaged in their work. Morieux showed data on the extreme end: those beyond disengaged but actively working against the interests of the company. Per Morieux, the actively disengaged population makes up 20% of employees in the US, 21% in Australia, 23% in Japan, 20% in Germany, 24% in the UK as well as France. Keep in mind, these are employees who not only aren’t working productively, they are possibly intentionally undermining the efforts of the organization."

How Multitasking at Work Can Slow You Down

(You can read more about the authors’ findings in their recent National Bureau of Economic Research working paper, “Don’t Spread Yourself Too Thin: The Impact of Task Juggling on Workers’ Speed of Job Completion.”)…
