The Relevance and Viability of Subconscious Goals in the Workplace (2010, background): “Responses given to complete the sentences on the MSCS indicate whether a manager possesses a particular motive pattern such as a favorable or unfavorable attitude toward people in authority, a desire to compete with others, or a desire to exercise power. Miner (1960) found that the MSCS not only pre”
Organizational Factors and Instructional Decision-Making: A Cognitive Perspective (2011, background): “Furthermore, heuristics may even operate automatically without much conscious deliberation on the part of the decision-maker, such that some cognitive operations may occur on a subconscious level (Bargh, 2005). However, the focus on mental representations alone was challenged by researchers who argu”
On dual processing and heuristic approaches to moral cognition (2008, background): “empirical research that shows that much of human decision-making is not like this at all; and that, indeed, much social behaviour is under ‘nonconscious control’ (Bargh, 2005; Bargh & Chartrand, 1999).”
The effect of primed goals on employee performance: Implications for human resource management (2011, background): “During the time that a primed goal remains active in the subconscious, it exerts a passive effect on an individual’s behavior even though that person is unaware that the goal exists (Bargh, 1994, 2005).”

Evaluating the consistency of immediate aesthetic perceptions of web pages (2006, background): “Other studies found that decisions consist of a mix of conscious and nonconscious processes (Bargh, 2004) and that the degree to which nonconscious processes influence choice processes ‘‘is much greater than most choice researchers believe’’ (Fitzsimons et al.”
Intrinsic and Extrinsic Motivation in Sport and Physical Activity: A Review and a Look at the Future (2012, background): “Much research in social cognition has now shown that behavior can be influenced by factors outside of our awareness (see Bargh, 2005). Along these lines, Lévesque and Pelletier (2003) showed that presenting primes dealing with intrinsic or extrinsic motivation out of awareness is sufficient to induc”
Operant variability and voluntary action. (2010, background): “For example, Bargh (2005) suggested that consciousness is a “workplace” where components of behavioral acts may be formulated and combined.”
