Phubbing is defined as the act of snubbing someone in a social setting by looking at the phone instead of paying attention. This paper aims to introduce and validate a new measure tapping frequency of being phubbed in the workplace (Study 1) and to present empirical evidence on whether being phubbed daily is detrimental for the day-to-day work engagement of employees (Study 2). Drawing on data from 793 participants, along with exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis and correlation analysis, we yielded validity and reliability support for the four-item Being Phubbed in the Workplace Scale (BPWS). In Study 2, a five-day daily diary with 112 participants (total N = 424), we validated the BPWS also on the day level. Despite the nonsignificant effect of being phubbed daily on day-to-day work engagement, we could find support for a boundary condition, that is, being phubbed will lead to a decrease only if a clan culture is present in an organization. Therefore, we concluded that the BPWS is a valid instrument to measure being phubbed in the work context, especially for process-oriented research, and that its detrimental effects are limited to organizational cultural boundaries.

吞咽被定义为在社交环境中通过不看电话而不是关注他人来对某人进行侮辱的行为。本文旨在介绍和验证一种在工作场所被打扰的新方法（研究1），并提供经验证据证明每天被打扰是否对员工的日常工作有不利影响（研究2）。利用来自793名参与者的数据，以及探索性和确认性因素分析以及相关性分析，我们为工作场所量表（BPWS）中受到困扰的四个项目提供了有效性和可靠性支持。在研究2中，有112名参与者的五天每日日记（总计N = 424），我们也在当天水平上验证了BPWS。尽管在日常工作中每天都被打扰的影响不显着，但我们可以找到对边界条件的支持，也就是说，仅当组织中存在氏族文化时，被打扰才会导致减少。因此，我们得出的结论是，BPWS是一种有效的工具，可以用来衡量在工作环境中被吞噬的情况，尤其是对于面向过程的研究而言，并且其有害影响仅限于组织文化边界。
