Design for Pride in the Workplace.

Area of Science:

• Workplace psychology and organizational behavior
• Human-computer interaction and experience design
• Social psychology and organizational management

Background:

• Pride is a significant daily experience, viewed differently in psychology (self-oriented) and management (collective).
• Bridging these perspectives, this research explores experience design's role in cultivating workplace pride.
• Understanding pride's interdisciplinary nature is key to enhancing employee experience.

Purpose of the Study:

• To introduce a framework for dynamic pride experiences in the workplace.
• To analyze experience design cases and their contribution to pride.
• To identify and categorize pride-related experience design goals.

Main Methods:

• Cross-disciplinary theoretical review (psychology and organizational management).
• Analysis of 20 experience design cases in the metal and engineering industry.
• Categorization of 33 pride-related experience design goals into a dynamic pride framework.

Main Results:

• Introduction of social and temporal dimensions of workplace pride.
• Pride goals categorized into self-focused (short/long-term) and other-focused (short/long-term).
• Design strategies mapped to pride categories, with a concentration on self-focused short-term and other-focused long-term pride.

Conclusions:

• Design strategies support varied workplace pride dynamics.
• Evoking self-achievement through tools and fostering long-term competence development.
• Highlighting individual contributions and promoting organizational pride through social events.
