Online resources: Summary: The article discusses factors that make workers in information-intensive jobs more productive. Researchers studied an executive recruiting firm over a five-year period. They determined that, while a positive correlation existed between workers' use of information technology (IT)) and revenue generation, multitasking caused an extension of the time required to complete a project. They also found that increased multitasking boosted output only up to a point, whereupon additional multitasking caused output to decline.
