Control over the scheduling of simulated office work reduces the impact of workload on mental fatigue and task performance (2006)
Journal Article
Hockey, G. R. J., & Earle, F. (2006). Control over the scheduling of simulated office work reduces the impact of workload on mental fatigue and task performance. Journal of Experimental Psychology: Applied, 12(1), 50-65. https://doi.org/10.1037/1076-898X.12.1.50

Two experiments tested the hypothesis that task-induced mental fatigue is moderated by control over work scheduling. Participants worked for 2 hr on simulated office work, with control manipulated by a yoking procedure. Matched participants were assi...
