Human performance research
Evidence on what lets people perform, and keep performing, at work.
What this publication does
It reads the studies so that organizations do not have to. Each article takes one question about performance at work, says what the research found, says what it does not show, and gives the citation so anyone can check.
Latest evidence summaries
Do people who move more report less burnout?
In one study of 7,973 employees, the lowest odds of burnout were among people who did about 26 minutes of moderate-to-vigorous activity plus light activity a day. An association, not a cause.
Is higher stamina linked to living longer?
In a study of 122,007 patients, people in the highest stamina group had much lower long-term mortality than people in the lowest group. A strong link, not proof of cause.
