办公室里最让人分心的是什么?同事聊天排第二,第一是……
打开电脑,开始进入工作模式,此时耳边传来了磨咖啡的声音,邻座的电话铃声响了,身后的同事开始吃鸡蛋,那个味道好臭,更要命的是,有人居然开始大声打电话……这时候你是不是很想静静?
你不是一个人!调查发现,98%的人都曾在工作时有过想静静的时刻,该调查还列出了办公室干扰源排行榜。来看看干扰源No.1是什么?
Of all the distractions that come with working in an office, the biggest is not the room temperature or the traffic sounds from outside. It’s ourselves.
在办公室里工作,最让人分心的不是室温或室外的车辆噪音,而是我们自己。
In a survey commissioned by office-equipment maker Poly and conducted by research firm Future Workplace, 76% of respondents said a co-worker talking loudly on the phone created a moderate, high, or very high level of distraction for them while at work in their primary workspace, making it the most commonly cited disruption in the survey. Noise from a co-worker talking nearby was cited by 65% of respondents.
办公设备制造商Poly委托调研公司Future Workplace开展的一项调查显示,76%的受访者认为同事在办公室里大声讲电话会造成中高度或极高水平的干扰,这也是是此次调查中发现的最常被提及的干扰源。65%的受访者指出同事在旁边说话会对工作造成干扰。
The sound of coffee being made is a moderate to very high distraction for only 26%, while 46% said they were distracted by pets in the office (which was less than the 53% who reported moderate to very high distractions caused by visiting children).
对26%的人来说,磨咖啡的声音会造成中度至极高水平的干扰,46%的人反映他们会因办公室里的宠物而分心,更多的人(53%)表示来访的儿童会造成中度至极高水平的干扰。
The global study of designs and distractions in offices surveyed 5,150 employees who work at least three days minimum in a corporate environment.
这项对办公室设计和干扰因素的全球调查访问了5150名在企业环境中至少工作了三天的员工。
There’s a growing backlash against open-office plans. Studies have found that open plans lead to decreased face-to-face collaboration and decreased productivity, particularly for creative people. Distractions at work are not just a problem for open offices, though. Only 61% of the survey respondents reported working in an open office, but 98% of everyone surveyed said they get distracted at work.
越来越多人开始抵制开放式办公室的方案。研究发现,开放式办公室导致面对面合作减少,工作效率降低,尤其是那些从事创意工作的人。不过,工作时受到干扰不是开放式办公室才存在的问题。此次调查中只有61%的人称在开放式办公室里工作,但所有受访者中有98%表示自己在工作时受到了干扰。
backlash['bæklæʃ]: n. 反冲;强烈抵制
