Peter Wildeford: I definitely think the biggest takeaway from this paper is that we likely can’t trust self-reports. This is pretty surprising to me, but is a finding commonly seen in productivity literature
Not just in productivity, this is a finding from so many fields of research that I struggle to find any situation where self report is trustworthy. Yes sometimes it is the best we can do, but that doesn’t remove the weaknesses. With that said, I really appreciate the dual research model showing the self report vs actual situation in this case and hope more projects use it going forward.
