Promoting new habits at work through implementation intentions
Habits facilitate automatic behaviours and are resource efficient. Habits at work may be beneficial because they conserve cognitive-attentional resources, thus fostering work engagement and goal progress. In a diary intervention study (2 daily assessments, 10 work days), we asked 72 employees to establish a new habit at work. Half of them additionally completed an intervention on the correct use of implementation intentions. All participants were given access to a follow-up survey. In multi-level analyses, automaticity of the new habitual behaviour predicted work engagement and goal progress at the day-level. Implementation intentions predicted frequency of the habitual behaviour and in turn increased automaticity of this behaviour. The effects of implementation intentions were still evident at follow-up. Contrary to expectations, the intervention did not increase participants' daily use of implementation intentions. The results indicate that implementation intentions might be used in everyday work to establish habits at work, thus increasing employees' efficiency and engagement.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Occupational and Organizational Psychology aims to increase understanding of people and organisations at work including:
- industrial, organizational, work, vocational and personnel psychology
- behavioural and cognitive aspects of industrial relations
- ergonomics and human factors
Innovative or interdisciplinary approaches with a psychological emphasis are particularly welcome. So are papers which develop the links between occupational/organisational psychology and other areas of the discipline, such as social and cognitive psychology.
