When we take part in unproductive meetings, the effect isn't just the immediate impact of wasted time. The effect can go on for hours. It's called a "meeting hangover": a period of diminished focus, motivation or productivity following a bad meeting. hbr.org/2025/02/the-.... V brentreed.bsky.social

Excited to share our new article in HBR exploring the hidden toll of meeting hangovers—how bad meetings can leave employees disengaged and less productive… sometimes for hours after the meeting ends! We also share evidence-based strategies for prevention and recovery: hbr.org/2025/02/the-...

How well does academic performance (GPA, class rank, instructor evaluations) predict job performance? Contrary to some recent headlines, it’s actually pretty good! Here are a few highlights from a recent meta-analysis 🧵, available here: doi.org/10.1037/apl0...

Gossip at work is harmful... or is it? In this study, researchers found that quality matters. Truthful, interesting gossip boosted mood and made people more willing to help the sender. But too much gossip? That had the opposite effect. Link: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

Is there anything more… enlightening… than diving down the rabbit hole to track down the original version of a scale?

“Gen Z doesn’t want to work hard.” “Boomers are set in their ways.” We’ve all heard these stereotypes, but do they hold up? More evidence that generational differences are a myth: link.springer.com/article/10.1... Plus, this excerpt... 👀

After-hours work can erode health and balance in hybrid workers. Our brand new study links long hours, late nights and quick returns to burnout, pain and work-home conflict in a sample of Norwegian workers (n=1465) followed four-waves. #workfamily#hybrid Read more: www.sjweh.fi/download.php...

Few weeks go by without me thinking of this Highhouse article on our “stubborn reliance” on intuition in hiring: doi.org/10.1111/j.17... It’s a powerful reminder of the gap between what works (structure, standardization) and what we often rely on—subjective feelings of “fit.”

A bit late to the party, but I finally read this interesting article about how occupations tend to attract people with certain personality traits. I’ll share a few thoughts below 🧵, but here’s a link to the full study: doi.org/10.1037/apl0...

Starting to wrap up a twice-daily diary study across four time zones, and now I see why many folks stick to one or two. Lesson learned the hard way!

This was a tough decision, but mine is: Barker, J. R. (1993). Tightening the iron cage: Concertive control in self-managing teams. Administrative Science Quarterly, 38(3), 408–437. As one of the first papers we read in my PhD program, it was a memorable introduction to organizational science.

We’re looking for a new stats textbook to use in our I-O master’s program. Ideally, it would be R-based, easy to understand w/ I-O examples, cover a range of topics (eg, data viz, descriptives, t-tests/ANOVA, regression, moderation), and be open-source/inexpensive (< $50). Any suggestions?

Given the growing Bluesky community, I’d like to reintroduce myself! I’m a PhD candidate in Organizational Science at UNC Charlotte, studying how our ties to work shape well-being. While my health care background informs my work, I’m eager to explore these topics across work settings.

Listening to the Science for Work podcast this morning, I heard Chase Sterling share an insightful idea: People don’t have “survey fatigue”—they have inaction fatigue. When people believe surveys will lead to meaningful change, they’ll participate. Link: podcasts.apple.com/za/podcast/m...

Excited to have recently presented our ongoing research at SMA! In our study of workers with diabetes, we identified key factors that supported or hindered them at work, including personal demands (e.g., symptoms), predictability of breaks, and social pressures related to food.
