Habits and Change
Values guide work behaviors and habits. Selecting values specific to the organization, matching these values with the values of the individual and value promotion efforts form the road map for human change. It is an individual and societal expectation that change is positive and beneficial. In this article, we focus on habits as one of the factors that play a role in activating change. Personality is a set of fairly fixed emotional states and behaviors that include innate characteristics and are shaped in the early years of life. Values determine the attitude towards life for individuals as well as for organizations. They are invisible to the eye, but reflect the culture and climate of the individual and the community. Crises are the times when values are at their sharpest. Organizational strategies are based on values. All decisions are based on values. Habit draws its strength from and supports these two. It defines almost automatic behaviors and has an important place in the routine of life.
