get into (my) role at work
"After I get into role at work, I am able to fully concentrate on my work."
In acting, it is most common to say "get into role" or "get into character," which is where this phrase originates.
While the Chinese includes "不想杂事" (not think of irrelevant matters/random matters), this is superfluous in English, which already says "fully concentrate" (专心工作), which means that one does not think of other things. 进入工作角色 is the same as 进入在工作的角色--if translated in this way, the English sounds a little better.

getting into a working mood
愚见认为，这里的“角色”，不是指那个人在单位/公司所担任的那个“角色”，而是指他自己作为一个“工作角色”开始工作，也就是说，他带着一种工作的心境，进入了一种工作的状态-----“带着工作的心态开始进入工作”( get into a working mood)。正因为这样，才有后面提到的“专心”(concentrate/focus)和“不想杂事”。 因此，建议译文如
getting into a working mood
--------------------------------------------------
Note added at 1 day6 hrs (2007-12-07 17:05:43 GMT)
--------------------------------------------------
这里的“角色”指的是“工作”。
然而，如果议成" role at work"/ “part in the workplace"/"take up a work role"那么，role成了“工作单位中/或某项工作中所担任的角色"。
原文的那句话，那个人不一定是在上班，在单位工作。他有可能是在家进行“工作”（不是在娱乐）”，一旦进入工作状态，他就能专心工作。

即使原文说的是在单位工作，估计他能否专心工作，跟他的“工种/工作性质”联系不大，而是跟“工作状态/工作心境”有关。进入“工作角色”，就是进入“工作（非游戏）”这个角色，指的是“进入工作状态/带着工作的心境”的意思。

submerging into a working mode
进入 in this case - is a gradually entering process as oppose to open a door and get in.
So, I would call it - submerging into a working mode (role or mood), I can focus on my work free from distraction.
