摘要

目的随着工人在办公空间和家庭办公室等其他空间之间流动,混合工作正在改变现代人对工作的概念。因此,工作的社会方面也在发生变化,本研究旨在探讨当工作空间变得分散时,工作场所乐趣所产生的影响。设计/方法/途径我们对两家不同的公司进行了人种学研究,以深入探讨工作乐趣的概念,以及它如何适应混合工作。我们通过对两家公司的全面考察,并采用混合定性方法收集数据,包括半结构化访谈、参与者观察和来自组织在线平台的证据。研究结果我们的主题包括:(1) 人工制品;(2) 组织乐趣和空间;(3) 失去乐趣,这些为我们的理论贡献提供了基础。研究的局限性/意义我们对在线渠道的访问有限,因此确定了未来研究的机会,以探索在线平台上的乐趣,包括聊天功能、备忘录、gifs 和其他可能产生工作场所乐趣的地方。社会意义混合工作正在改变工作场所的社会互动,尤其是乐趣和游戏。我们描绘了工人如何驾驭不断变化的工作环境,以及工作场所趣味新元素的意义和对趣味文化的影响。原创性/价值我们的贡献在于对工作场所趣味进行了重新理论化,认为分享和支持各级工人创造和促进趣味为重视趣味文化的组织提供了新机遇。我们对工作场所趣味性的理论分析表明,工作场所趣味性能够适应新的混合工作环境,这种环境不再强调同地办公和实际存在。我们概述了人工制品的重要性,并描绘了混合工作环境中工作场所趣味的可变性。

New frontiers of fun: sharing and supporting workplace fun in hybrid work

Purpose

Hybrid work is changing modern conceptions of work as workers move between their office space and alternate spaces such as a home office. Social aspects of work are therefore also changing, and this study aims to explore the implications arising for workplace fun when workspaces become dispersed.

Design/methodology/approach

We undertook ethnographic research into two different companies to explore in depth the concept of fun at work and how it is being adapted for hybrid work. Data were collected through full immersion into both companies and gathered using mixed qualitative methods comprising semi-structured interviews, participant observations and evidence from organizational online platforms. A structured coding system was used in the analysis with an interpretive approach.

Findings

Our themes include (1) artefacts, (2) organizing fun and space and (3) loss of fun and these provide the underpinning for our theoretical contribution.

Research limitations/implications

We had limited access to online channels and identified opportunities for future research to explore fun in online platforms including chat functions, meme, gifs and other places where workplace fun may be enacted.

Practical implications

Work has changed for workers and managers, and this impacts fun which needs to adapt to hybrid work models.

Social implications

Hybrid work is changing workplace social interactions, particularly, for fun and play. We depict how workers navigate the changing context of work and the significance of emerging elements of workplace fun and the implications for fun cultures.

Originality/value

Our contribution is in a re-theorization of workplace fun arguing that sharing and supporting the creation and promotion of fun among workers at all levels offers new opportunities for organizations that value a fun culture. Our theorization of workplace fun shows its adaptation to new hybrid work contexts that deemphasize co-location and physical presence. We outline the significance of artefacts and depict the variability of workplace fun in hybrid work.
