Theoretical Antecedents of Standing at Work: An Experience Sampling Approach Using the Theory of Planned Behavior

Abstract

= 6 hours/day) participated. A total of 871 daily surveys were completed. Only perceived behavioral control (beta = 0.45, p < 0.05) was related with work-standing at the event-level (model fit: just fit); mediation through intention was not supported. This is the first study to examine theoretical antecedents of real-time work-standing in a naturalistic field setting among positive deviants. These relationships should be further examined, and behavioral intervention strategies should be guided by information obtained through this positive deviance approach to enhance perceived behavioral control, in addition to implementing environmental changes like installing standing desks.
