Tiivistelmä
In our modern economy, workers are overwhelmed by their high-demanding job; consequently, their well-being is suffering, and their performance is decreasing. No holistic approach has been developed to answer these issues; the ones existing target only one or few domains.
This paper studied the business potential of biohacking - recent movement that aims to optimize the body, mind, and environment - by researching the potential degree of people’s adoption of this concept and its practices at work.
A holistic view of biohacking at work has been developed, laying the foundation for the adoption research framework of this study. The author tested the research framework by conducting a survey in which both quantitative and qualitative questions were asked. A mixed-method methodology has been used to collect relevant data.
The participants were globally positive about adopting biohacking practices at work. On the one side, respondents are curious to try, enthusiasts about being more efficient and productive in their tasks but also about increasing their well-being at work. On the other side, some people do not think all practices can be implemented at work. They do not feel ready yet due to a lack of familiarity with the concept, judged as not suitable for all.
Results have shown a correlation between the biohacking experience at work and the causal effect. It appears that the more satisfying the biohacking at work experience is, the higher the degree of people’s adoption will be.
Future research could use a bigger and more representative sample to allow for inferential statistical analysis to test the validity and reliability of the biohacking at work adoption model.
