Do you feel driven or relaxed at work? New research shows that 'optimal busyness' may not be as productive as it sounds.

technology. These impact how employees manage their time, and can encourage a poor work-life balance. They can also be hard to resist, so employees end up conforming. They can also shape how people experience their work time, making them feel temporarily invigorated and leading them to chase that feeling. We explored how professionals experience their work time as a result of organizational controls.

To understand how organizational conditions are linked to the notion of time, we explored the “temporality of controls:” the structuring, rarefying, and synchronization of time. Rarefying time makes time feel scarce and fosters a feeling of urgency. We focused on this construction of urgency and short-term deadlines, and on “temporal intensification,” meaning people work faster to squeeze in more work. These contribute to a focus on the present, rather than long-term value creation and planning.

Professionals also try to shape their own temporal experience to achieve this state of optimal busyness, since it feels energizing and productive and they feel in control — but this is a flawed approach and can lead to overwork in the attempt to hit the sweet spot. They do so by a process called control of temporality, which involves changing their pace, the target of their focus, and the length they see the busyness being.
