Hello everyone,
I am a third year Human Resources Development student and I am currently writing my final year project. I am interested to study boredom and employees’ engagement during covid-19 pandemic so I would love to know if anyone else has any gaps in research that are related to this because it would really help me in my final year project.
Thank you.
Hi Sharon Valeriena Francis
You may wish to look at our recent publications which investigated the effects of COVID-19 perceptions on a variety of job attitudes and organisational outcomes. That'd hopefully help you articulate your research. Here's a list of sample publications.

Hi Ali B. Mahmoud, thank you so much for sharing these articles with me. I will put them to good use for my writing.
How do you engage bored employees?
Here are eight specific suggestions to boost engagement and make sure your employees aren't bored at work:
I hope that the reply is not too late.
There are several gaps in research regarding boredom and employees' engagement. One gap is the lack of a clear definition of boredom in the workplace. Some researchers define boredom as a lack of stimulation or a lack of interest in one's work, while others define it as a negative emotional state characterized by a lack of motivation or apathy. Another gap is the lack of consensus on the antecedents and consequences of boredom in the workplace. Some research suggests that boredom is related to a lack of challenge or variety in one's work, while other research suggests that it is related to a lack of support or resources from one's organization. Additionally, there is a lack of research on the impact of boredom on employees' engagement, with some studies suggesting that boredom may lead to decreased engagement, while others suggest that it may have no effect or even a positive effect. Finally, there is a lack of research on the potential interventions or strategies that organizations can use to reduce boredom and increase engagement among their employees.
