Abstract
This study presents a systematic review and meta-analysis synthesising the existing research on the effectiveness of interventions featuring physical challenges for developing transferable skills and psychological health outcomes. Results from 47 independent samples across 44 studies revealed that the overall proximal effects of the interventions were medium ( g = 0.51) and that effects gradually diminished over time ( g = 0.39). Analyses across individual outcomes revealed interventions positively influenced interpersonal ( g = 0.55), intrapersonal ( g = 0.53), and cognitive skills ( g = 0.53), as well as psychological health outcomes ( g = 0.56). Moderator analyses indicate interventions can be potentially beneficial irrespective of design and participants involved. However, the current state of the literature does not truly allow for thorough conclusions to be made regarding the appropriateness and effectiveness of physical challenge interventions for organizational settings.
期刊介绍:
Organizational Psychology Review is a quarterly, peer-reviewed scholarly journal published by SAGE in partnership with the European Association of Work and Organizational Psychology. Organizational Psychology Review’s unique aim is to publish original conceptual work and meta-analyses in the field of organizational psychology (broadly defined to include applied psychology, industrial psychology, occupational psychology, organizational behavior, personnel psychology, and work psychology).Articles accepted for publication in Organizational Psychology Review will have the potential to have a major impact on research and practice in organizational psychology. They will offer analyses worth citing, worth following up on in primary research, and worth considering as a basis for applied managerial practice. As such, these should be contributions that move beyond straight forward reviews of the existing literature by developing new theory and insights. At the same time, however, they should be well-grounded in the state of the art and the empirical knowledge base, providing a good mix of a firm empirical and theoretical basis and exciting new ideas.
