Literature review of flow and work engagement interventions

The dataset includes an exhaustive search of the articles on flow intervention across disciplines within the PsychINFO and PsycArticles databases and seminal review papers (e.g., Nakamura & Csikszentmihalyi, 2009), and a selective search of the articles on work engagement intervention from recent systematic reviews (Knight et al., 2019, Virga et al., 2019). The articles selected are all English-written empirical research published in peer-reviewed journals up till October 2020 that study an intervention and include flow or work engagement as one outcome measured with a validated measure. The process has identified 47 articles on flow and 49 on work engagement. The articles were examined in abstract and full text and were thematically coded with three major coding themes: theory of change (i.e., the mechanism of why the intervention works), intervention type (i.e., the key component featured in the intervention), and approach (i.e., levels: personal vs. contextual; and perspectives: deficit-fixing vs. strengths-building).

本数据集涵盖了对心理学文摘数据库（PsychINFO）与心理学全文期刊数据库（PsycArticles）内各学科领域中关于心流（flow）干预的穷尽检索，以及经典综述文献（如Nakamura与Csikszentmihalyi，2009）的全面梳理，同时还基于近年的系统综述（Knight等人，2019；Virga等人，2019）对工作投入（work engagement）干预相关文献进行了选择性检索。所筛选的文献均为2020年10月前发表于同行评议期刊的英文实证研究，其研究主题均为干预措施，且以经过效度验证的测量工具将心流（flow）或工作投入（work engagement）作为一项观测结果。本检索流程共筛选得到47篇心流相关文献与49篇工作投入相关文献。研究人员对这些文献的摘要及全文进行了审阅，并围绕三大核心编码主题开展主题编码：变化机制理论（即干预发挥作用的内在机制）、干预类型（即干预方案的核心构成要素）以及研究路径（即分层维度：个体层面与情境层面；视角维度：缺陷修复导向与优势构建导向）。
