“…From a practical perspective, the current study offers support for implementing training and interventions at the organizational level to help employees adopt behaviors specific to certain personality traits and thereby experience more flow. Given the established correlation between the flow state and performance (Van den Hout et al, 2016;Liu et al, 2023), our findings underscore the indispensability of incorporating flowenhancing strategies into organizational practices. The intervention crafted for this study stands as a testament to our commitment to pushing the boundaries of knowledge.…”

“…As an exception, in addition to extraversion, consciousness, and neuroticism, Tatalović Vorkapić and Gović (2016) found a positive relationship between flow and openness to experience. Also, a recent metaanalysis that analyzed the connection between personality and flow at work identified an association between flow at work with conscientiousness, openness to experience, and extraversion but not with neuroticism (Liu et al, 2023). A possible explanation is the conceptual difference between flow state and flow at work.…”

The present study aimed to investigate experimentally how flow, as a state, is influenced by inducing behaviors specific to conscientiousness, extraversion, and emotional stability in daily activities for ten days. Informed by prior research, an intervention was developed, requiring participants to adopt behaviors associated with these three dimensions. The methodology used was to randomize participants into two groups, one group benefiting from intervention and the other being a control group. Initial measurements were taken using a dispositional flow scale and a personality inventory. Subsequently, a flow state scale was applied on the 4th, 7th, and 10th days. The main findings indicated a significant increase in the flow of experience and subjective happiness for the experimental group compared to the control group. The study's conclusions suggest that it is possible to act more extraverted, conscientious, and emotionally stable in daily life, and doing so can potentially lead to an enhancement in the flow state. We discussed the practical implications in organizations.

“…Yet, Bakker defined work-related flow as a short-term peak experience, differing from Csikszentmihalyi, who studied it as a continuing experience relevant to career sustainability. This interpretation of worked-related flow by Bakker [18] is based on the Ryan and Deci understanding of self-determination theory [19], one that represents an alternative explication that has been referenced by several authors as their basis of understanding flow [6,20,21], but not by Csikszentmihalyi.…”

“…The individual works of Bakker concerning his body of research on flow [17,18,[40][41][42]] have been referenced concomitantly with the work of Csikszentmihalyi by others studying work-related flow [6,20,21] as if these two authors' interpretation of flow were identical. Only one study has noted the problems inherent in this type of identification [15].…”

Originated during the 1970s by psychologist Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, the theory of work-related flow has the following features: (1) the goals pursued are clear; (2) each action taken results in instantaneous feedback; (3) the skills required are equal to the challenges presented; (4) awareness and action for how to proceed are integrated; (5) consciousness is focused while distractions are ignored; (6) failure is not considered an option; (7) self-consciousness is non-existent; (8) time awareness is distorted; and (9) the engaged activity is the end in itself. According to research findings, it is the optimal work-related experience to sustain careers.

Purpose: The objective of the study is to describe and evaluate the association of digital competence and job performance in public sector university teachers located in Lima, Peru. Theoretical framework: Being the digital competence necessary to improve the performance of teachers and increase their labor remuneration (Martín-Cuadrado et al., 2021). Design/Methodology/Approach: The same that has been possible to verify; thanks to the cross-sectional design and correlational descriptive level. In a sample of 184 university professors; who decided to participate freely and voluntarily to answer the questionnaires. Findings: The results show that the digital competence of teachers is at the advanced level at 45.7%, followed by the intermediate level with 38.9% and low at 15.5%. And in terms of work performance, the average level comes out with 36.2%, high 32.9% and low 13.3%. And by associating digital competence and job performance; it is found that the correlation value is (Rho = .290, p<.001); which expresses being of low magnitude and positive direction. Existing a nexus of positive and significant direction between both. Research, practical & social implications: Evidencing that the development of digital skills is associated with the job performance of university teachers in the public sector according to their praxis and academic work. That is, the optimization of the work performance of university teachers improves to the extent that they develop their digital skills, favoring teaching, the use of active strategies; problem solving and timely information management using digital media. Originality/Value: Because digital competence acts as a conditioning element for job performance in the exercise of university teaching.
