Drory, Amos

Personnel Psychology, v35 n1 p141-51 Spr 1982

Studied relationships between boredom at work, personal characteristics, and performance in a sample of truck drivers.

The relationship between boredom and work effectiveness was significantly moderated by personal characteristics. (Author)
