Flow can be defined as the experience of being fully engaged with
the task at hand, unburdened by outside concerns or worries. Flow
is an enjoyable state of effortless attention, complete absorption,
and focussed energy. The pivotal role of flow in fostering good
performance and high productivity led psychologists to study the
features and outcomes of this experience in the workplace, in order
to ascertain the impact of flow on individual and organizational
well-being, and to identify strategies to increase the workers'
opportunities for flow in job tasks. This ground-breaking new
collection is the first book to provide a comprehensive
understanding of flow in the workplace that includes a contribution
from the founding father of flow research, Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi.
On a conceptual level, this book clarifies the features and
structure of flow experience; and provides research-based evidence
of how flow can be measured in the workplace on an empirical level,
as well as exploring how it impacts on motivation, productivity,
and well-being. By virtue of its rigorous but also practical
approach, the book represents a useful tool for both scientists and
practitioners. The collection addresses a number of key issues,
including: Core components of how the idea of flow differs from
experience in the work context Organizational and task-related
conditions fostering flow at work How flow can be measured in the
workplace The organizational and personal implications of flow The
relationship between task features and flow opportunities at work
Featuring contributions from some of the most active researchers in
the field, Flow at Work: Measurement and Implications is an
important book in an emerging field of study. The concept of flow
has enormous implications for organizations as well as the
individual, and this volume will be of interest to all students and
researchers in organizational/occupational psychology and positive
psychology, as well as practitioners and consultants with an
interest in employee motivation and well-being.
