A replication of “the effects of making public service employees aware of their prosocial and societal impact”
该研究重复了Vogel和Willems的实验，发现让公共服务员工回忆自己的积极影响在真实工作环境中效果较小，为实践者和未来研究提供了建议。
Abstract Recent studies show that simple recall tasks can make public employees more aware of the positive impact they have on others and society. This in turn increases their motivation. However, studies often draw on paid survey respondents, such as respondents recruited via Amazon MTurk, resulting in an unfortunate mismatch between test sample and target population. Addressing the need to test recall tasks among real‐world public servants, we conducted a wide replication ( n = 412) of a recent study by Vogel and Willems. Our findings suggest that the effect sizes of recall tasks are likely relatively smaller when deployed “in the wild.” Based on our findings, we propose three themes for a future research agenda and point practitioners to areas of attention when implementing recall tasks in real‐world settings.
