Blank email or thousands of countless? See how many belong to you in the same group with you
Working life|The expert tells you what to infer from your own email box. In the vote in the story, tell me which group you belong to and see how the answers are distributed.
The abstract is made by artificial intelligence and checked by man.
Expert Ville Ojanen explains different e-mail behavior with differences in personality and temperament.
Zero -line people can be conscientious and responsive, while at the other end there are flexible and spontaneous people.
The role of e -mail at work and in the order of the person’s value also affects its handling.
Ojanen points out that all kinds of people are needed, as flexible style of action is often accompanied by creativity.
When Email in the box rains, peace of mind to heaven glows.
This could play playfully to describe the state of mind of people whose email box has zero mail. These people are not waiting for a better moment, but are immediately looking at the emails in the email box and clicking on them as viewed.
The other end of the extremes includes those whose email has tens of thousands of or hundreds of thousands of e-mails.
A quick survey round in the delivery of Helsingin Sanomat shows that the distribution is strong.
One journalist comments on the detention of the emails: « This discussion causes me nausea. I always clean up the news designs so that there is zero unread. »
At the other end is a busy chief journalist, whose email had more than 160,000 messages at the time of the discussion.
One journalist thought that the compulsive need to click on emails to be read immediately indicates the degree of a person’s neuroticism. Most of the emails can already be seen in the title that this is an advertisement and therefore there is no need to click on it.
But What does a brain researcher and work psychologist say to this Ville Ojanen?? Is it neurotic or something else?
« First of all, neuroticism is now called react sensitivity and conscientiousness is a different personality trait, » Ojala explains.
Both personality features can be found in zero-line people, as e-mail behavior, just like other behavior, is affected by differences in personality and temperament.
Ojala Refers to the theory of five large traits known as Big Five. According to it, the main features of the person’s personality are conscientiousness, neuroticism, outward orientation, reconciliation and openness to new experiences.
« One third of people belong to conscientious, and then five percent are very conscientious and regular. »
Ojala thinks that conscientists are better off when there is no huge number of countless emails in Inbo.
At the other end are people whose style of action is flexible and spontaneous, and they are not as organized.
« They seem to paint on a broad brush, so the relationship with email is less pedantic. »
Second According to Ojala, the reason for a different approach may be about the role of the tool in the employee’s life. If email does not play a significant role, reading it may be overwhelming.
« I would compare it to a toolbox with many different tools. You need to be in good shape for those you need daily. »
Ojala also points out that in a modern communication environment, different communication tools can play a different role in the employee’s order. For someone, email may be the way the past world is communicated and thus lower in order. Thus, people with exactly the same personality trait may treat countless emails in different ways.
Experience can also affect behavior. According to a survey round, the majority of suppliers whose email always shows zero is young women. Ojala thinks that this may be influenced by the fact that work is not yet done on autopilot. If the work seems chaotic, at least something is in order.
However, according to Ojala, it is not a sense of control for everyone, but they empty the email box because they can do it. Their style is just so systematic.
« The world is also such that people often receive positive feedback on a conscientious action style. »
Conscientious However, it is not advisable to look at their less organized colleagues along the nose, as all kinds of people are needed.
« The flexible style of action is created. If we didn’t have hiitha games, life would be boring hell. And often creativity requires that you can’t pull it on track. »
But what does the work psychologist look like?
« A good question, a moment. 7 500 unreadable. For me, these countless ones seem to have such ad -type. »
