不堪重负的软件开发者

Overwhelmed Software Developers

Lisa-Marie Michels, Aleksandra Petkova, Marcel Richter, Andreas Farley, Daniel Graziotin, Stefan Wagner

AI总结:

通过定性心理学研究识别软件开发中七类不堪重负体验,发现其通常降低生产力但有时也能激发专注与动力,并指出开发者特质有助于更有效应对。

摘要:

我们开展了一项定性心理学研究,以探索软件开发领域中感到不堪重负的体验。通过两位最近面临不堪重负挑战的参与者的坦诚自述,我们识别出七种不同的类别:沟通引发的、干扰相关的、组织性的、多样性的、技术性的、时间性的以及积极的不堪重负。虽然大多数类型的不堪重负往往会降低生产力并增加压力水平,但开发者有时会将不堪重负视为提升专注力、自我激励和生产力的催化剂。压力常常被发现是不堪重负的常见伴随因素。我们的发现与在不同学科中进行的先前研究一致。然而,我们认为软件开发者拥有独特的特质,这可能使他们能够更有效地度过不堪重负的风暴。

英文摘要:

We have conducted a qualitative psychology study to explore the experience of feeling overwhelmed in the realm of software development. Through the candid confessions of two participants who have recently faced overwhelming challenges, we have identified seven distinct categories: communication-induced, disturbance-related, organizational, variety, technical, temporal, and positive overwhelm. While most types of overwhelm tend to deteriorate productivity and increase stress levels, developers sometimes perceive overwhelm as a catalyst for heightened focus, self-motivation, and productivity. Stress was often found to be a common companion of overwhelm. Our findings align with previous studies conducted in diverse disciplines. However, we believe that software developers possess unique traits that may enable them to navigate through the storm of overwhelm more effectively.
