Responsiveness to Persuasive Strategies at the Workplace: A Case Study

Examining ABA Happiness: A Literature Review

“…An outgrowth of this therapy is that of persuasive technology, as presented by Selassie, Oyibo, and Vassileva in their study in 2017. The authors assert that "Persuasive technology capitalizes on the use of technology and the art of persuasion to change the behaviors and attitudes of people without the use of coercion" (Selassie et al, 2017), which would coincide with the kind of leadership style that would most proficiently supplement a positive workplace: that of leading by example and implementing a supportive and favorable office environment instead of leading by way of threats, dictatorship-style management, authoritarian behavior, and other related concepts. Additionally, using this method allows employees the chance to better outline their workplace duties and detail them so that upper-level leadership will be cognizant of how workers spend their time and how tasks should be delegated (such as if one employee appears to be overloaded, while another has very little to do and can complete his or her workload in a relatively short period).…”

"In many workplaces, it is important that employees provide detailed records of their activities for easy tracking of an organization's day-to-day activities and future historical reference" (Selassie et al, 2017). This tracking is significant not only to determine how and when tasks should be assigned but also in industries such as the legal field, where clients are billed depending upon how much time is spent upon that client's file or addressing that firm's issues.…”

Social norms in digital spaces: Conflict reports and implications for technology design in the teleworking context

“… 2014 ), motivating employees in the health sector to improve their habits of recording patient sessions (Selassie et al. 2017 ), or a positive work attitude and commitment to the organization’s ideals, visions and mission (Nkwo 2019 ).…”

“…In addition, technology design was considered as aa forth starting point for establishing the desired behavior (change), informed by the approach of transformational products and persuasive technologies approach (e.g., Fogg 2003;Laschke et al 2011). Examples of persuasive design concepts in the work domain from previous research cover a wide field of appli-cations and behavioral goals, such as sustainable behavior at the workplace (e.g., Lockton et al 2014), motivating employees in the health sector to improve their habits of recording patient sessions (Selassie et al 2017), or a positive work attitude and commitment to the organization's ideals, visions and mission (Nkwo 2019).…”

“…Given that the specific design influence strategy adopted can be decisive for the effectiveness and acceptance of a technology (e.g., Selassie et al 2017), we were interested in which type of influence might be best-suited for promoting shared norms at the workplace. Accordingly, our survey explored concrete design solutions within the design influence classification scheme by Tromp et al (2011), which systematically compares different types of influence.…”
