In today's rapidly evolving technological landscape, this study investigates the impact of new technology on organizational work dynamics. By integrating the Job Demands-Resources theory and the Episodic Process Model, we examine the cognitive mechanisms that influence task performance during decision-making episodes. Our research focuses on episodic job demands and resources, emphasizing the mediating role of task absorption in the relationship between these factors and task performance. Our findings reveal that episodic job resources positively affect task absorption and performance, while job demands moderate the relationship between job resources and task absorption. Employing the Beer Distribution Game alongside neuroscience-based eye-tracking techniques, we analyze visual attention dynamics during decision-making episodes, providing novel insights into the interplay between task absorption and task performance. Theoretically, our study highlights the significance of task absorption in understanding how episodic job resources impact decision-making performance. Practically, our results advocate for the implementation of decision-making-focused skills development through physiological measures such as neurofeedback training programs. This research underscores the importance of individual time management in enhancing task performance, contributing to a nuanced understanding of job resources, job demands, and task absorption in the context of technological transformation.
在当今快速发展的技术环境中，本研究调查了新技术对组织工作动态的影响。通过整合工作要求-资源理论和情节过程模型，我们研究了影响决策情节中任务绩效的认知机制。我们的研究重点是情节性工作要求和资源，强调任务吸收在这些因素与任务绩效之间关系中的中介作用。我们的研究结果表明，情节性工作资源对任务吸收和绩效有积极影响，而工作要求则调节了工作资源与任务吸收之间的关系。我们采用啤酒分销游戏和基于神经科学的眼动追踪技术，分析决策情节中的视觉注意力动态，为任务吸收和任务绩效之间的相互作用提供新的见解。从理论上讲，本研究强调了任务吸收在理解情节性工作资源如何影响决策绩效方面的重要性。从实践上讲，我们的研究结果提倡通过生理措施（如神经反馈训练计划）实施以决策为重点的技能发展。这项研究强调了个体时间管理在提高任务绩效方面的重要性，为理解技术变革背景下的工作资源、工作要求和任务吸收提供了更细致的视角。
