The influence of interest on job completion time, ordinary and worthy job performance, and job satisfaction is investigated following the provision of job-related prior knowledge. This quasiexperimental posttest research compared studies of low- and high-value jobs. In Study 1, participants (n = 75) completed a dressing job (low value). In Study 2, participants (n = 71) completed a computer job (high value). Interest in the low-value job was found to trigger significant job performance and job satisfaction, but no significant impact was noted on job completion time. However, worthy job performance (in which performance is evaluated by total cost spent to acquire desired output) of the lowvalue job was nonsignificant and inverse to job performance. Interest in the highvalue job was seen to significantly affect job completion time and job satisfaction, but not job performance. In contrast to Study 1, worthy job performance was consistent with job performance and seen as significant. The results are discussed, and further research studies are recommended.

这是一份有趣的工作，我会坚持、执行并获得更多满足吗？准实验调查

在提供与工作相关的先验知识后，研究兴趣对工作完成时间、普通和有价值的工作绩效以及工作满意度的影响。这项准实验性后测研究比较了低价值和高价值工作的研究。在研究 1 中，参与者 (n = 75) 完成了穿衣工作（低值）。在研究 2 中，参与者（n = 71）完成了一项计算机工作（高价值）。发现对低价值工作的兴趣会触发显着的工作绩效和工作满意度，但对工作完成时间没有显着影响。然而，低价值工作的有价值的工作绩效（绩效是通过获得期望输出所花费的总成本来评估的）并不显着，并且与工作绩效成反比。对高价值工作的兴趣被认为会显着影响工作完成时间和工作满意度，但不会影响工作绩效。与研究 1 相比，有价值的工作表现与工作表现一致并且被视为显着。讨论结果，并建议进一步研究。
