It has become a tradition that every worker in up to date organization is responsible for carrying out several processes simultaneously. The efficiency of every officer can be decreased by stress regardless of its sort and origins that caused it. Statistics demonstrates that most of officers who have to distract their attention constantly dislike it a lot. When the officer should permanently reply for phone calls, ICQ messages and e-mails the entire other job is divided into small parts.
The professor of Californian University Gloria Mark carried out some special researches studying the working progress of different officers in some IT corporations. After 1000 hours of experiment some really amazing statistic results were found. On the average the worker does one work not longer than 11 minutes and then something begins disturbing him. For example telephone rings or there is incoming message. Besides, this 11 minute period is subdivided for several littler ones such as reading of e-mail, reading a website and working with Excel tables. Any time when officer's attention is distracted he needs about 25 minutes to get down to performing his work again.
These experiments are considered to be successful as scientists managed to find out that mental health is being under influence of such disturbing factors. Any worker who participate in that experiment announced that such factors disturb him a lot and he would like to get rid of them. The traditions of office behavior imply the presence of such factors. The obligations of most of officers are truly wide so they need to answer the telephone and send replies to the e-mail letters. Instant messaging systems is also an integral part of obligations of any worker that operates in the Internet.
Doctors attempted to research not only the relation between the amount of distracting factors and the effectiveness of operate but also the results that may appear as a consequence of such conditions. More than 79 per cent of workers all round the globe suffer from stresses caused by such factors and it is really bad statistics.
Regardless of some positive characteristics as a big volume of communication with other people every worker risks to have some huge problems with his mental health. You ought to realize that almost every physical dysfunction has got its mental basis. It is really difficult to modify anything but scientists attempt to find the best method to perform it. Modern conveniences are really useful but not everybody can operate with a huge amount of them without problems.
Everyone realizes that there are complexities that are not related to the job at all but they also decrease the state of our health. We can get some problems at home, financial problems such as poor credit auto loan. Doctors say that workers may be under stress for very long periods of time. Read the rest of this entry »
