Scientific Studies on Purpose

Written by Julia in Experiments

4 weeks ago - 0 min read

Hi everyone!

I am a psychology student at LSE and I am very passionate about the potential power of organizational purpose. Is anyone aware of any scientific studies/experiments that have been conducted on the effects of such abstract purpose on the individual employee (or other stakeholders)?

Also, if anyone wants to support my own research - I will soon conduct a study for my dissertation, focusing on the effects of purpose on employee satisfaction, engagement, and motivation...

Thanks in advance for your input!

Best,
Julia

While a crisis (personal or collective) can cause reflection, more often than not, when it’s over, things merely revert to being much the way they were before it happened.
