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).本数据集对PsychINFO与PsycArticles数据库各学科领域内的心流（flow）干预相关文献，以及开创性综述文献（如Nakamura与Csikszentmihalyi, 2009）开展了全面检索，并基于近年发表的系统综述（Knight等, 2019；Virga等, 2019）对工作投入（work engagement）干预相关文献进行了选择性检索。所遴选的文献均为2020年10月前发表于同行评议期刊的英文实证研究，其研究主题为干预措施，且以经信效度验证的测量工具评估心流或工作投入作为核心结果之一。本次检索共筛选得到47篇心流干预相关文献与49篇工作投入干预相关文献。研究人员对筛选出的文献进行摘要与全文研读，并基于三大核心编码主题开展主题编码：变化理论（即干预起效的内在作用机制）、干预类型（即干预所包含的核心构成要素），以及研究路径（即干预层级：个人层面vs.情境层面；研究视角：问题修复式vs.优势构建式）。
