【職場選擇】適合容易分心的人的4種職業 4 occupations for people who are easily distracted

生活在數碼時代，人人手執電子設備。只要一機在手，令人分心的事物無處不在。你工作中處理文件工作時，是不是經常偷看信息？或者偷偷上論壇？因此各大企業為解決員工無法專注工作的情況，制定措施來限制員工使用社交媒體。實驗研究指出，使用封鎖網站的工具，能有效提高生產力。

不過，另有研究指限制員工到訪某些網站反而會弄巧成拙，降低員工的生產力及工作滿意度。而且，使用社交媒體來工作對團隊士氣和生產力有正面的幫助，其中是因為這有助於促進知識共享和合作。可見，一刀切的做法並不適合所有人。

根據人力資源公司CIO Tomas Chamorro-Premuzic的研究，以下四項職業，可能會比較適合較容易心思游移的人：

1.  創業家

2.  公關／影片製作

3.  顧問

4.  新聞工作者

容易分心的人不應試圖強迫自己從事需要持續專注力的職業，而是尋找有較多變化的工作。放在合適位置上的人，才是人才。

We live in a digital age, where people are armed with electronic devices. Do you often peek at messages and browse forums when you are at work? As a result, companies are taking steps to address the inability of employees to focus on their work by restricting their use of social media. Experimental studies have shown that the use of website blockers are effective in improving productivity.

Conversely, studies have shown that restricting employees’ access to the Internet can be counterproductive and hinder employees’ productivity and job satisfaction. In addition, it is suggested that using social media to work has a positive impact on team morale and productivity among other things because it facilitates knowledge-sharing and collaboration.

According to Tomas Chamorro-Premuzic, CIO of ManpowerGroup, the following four occupations may benefit people who are more prone to mind-wandering.

1.  Entrepreneur
2.  PR/video production
3.  Consultant
4.  Journalist

People who are easily distracted should not force themselves into careers that require sustained concentration, but rather seek out roles that allow multitasking and varied work. After all, talent is largely personality in the right place.
