Background: The experience sampling method studies everyday experiences ofhumans in natural environments. In psychology it has been used to study therelationships between work well-being and productivity. To our best knowledge,daily experience sampling has not been previously used in software engineering.Aims: Our aim is to identify links between software developers self-reportedaffective states and work well-being and measures obtained from softwarerepositories. Method: We perform an experience sampling study in a softwarecompany for a period of eight months, we use logistic regression to link thewell-being measures with development activities, i.e. number of commits andchat messages. Results: We find several significant relationships betweenquestionnaire variables and software repository variables. To our surpriserelationship between hurry and number of commits is negative, meaning moreperceived hurry is linked with a smaller number of commits. We also find anegative relationship between social interaction and hindered work well-being.Conclusions: The negative link between commits and hurry is counter-intuitiveand goes against previous lab-experiments in software engineering that showincreased efficiency under time pressure. Overall, our work is an initial stepin using experience sampling in software engineering and validating theories onwork well-being from other fields in the domain of software engineering.
