"About 1 in 3 Americans make at least one New Year's resolution, according to Pew Research. While most of these vows focus on weight loss, fitness, and other health-related goals, many fall into a distinct category: work. Work-related New Year's resolutions tend to focus on someone's current job and career, whether to find a new job or, if the timing and conditions are right, whether to embark on a new career path."
"We're an organizational psychologist and a philosopher who have teamed up to study why people work-and what they give up for it. We believe that there is good reason to consider concerns that apply to many if not most professionals: how much work to do and when to get it done, as well as how to make sure your work doesn't harm your physical and mental health-while attaining some semblance of work-life balance."
About one-third of Americans make New Year's resolutions, with many targeting work rather than health goals. Work-related resolutions often concentrate on someone's current job or on finding a new job or career path when timing and conditions allow. Research examines why people work and the trade-offs involved, including decisions about how much to work and when to do it. Key concerns include preventing harm to physical and mental health and achieving some semblance of work-life balance. The 40-hour nine-to-five schedule remains a dominant cultural norm, reinforced by media and workplace tools such as calendar defaults.
