Developing an Outward Mindset Using Psychological Training Programs for Employees in Private Companies

Abstract

This research is a quasi-experimental study with the following objectives (1) to examine the level of an outward mindset and (2) to compare the level of an outward mindset before and after participating in a psychological training program aimed at developing an outward mindset. The first sample group consisted of 317 private company employees, while the second sample group comprised 12 participants who were selected for the training program based on their outward mindset scores being in the 25th percentile or below. The research instruments included an outward mindset questionnaire with a reliability coefficient of 0.933 and a psychological training program for outward mindset development with a content validity index of 1.00. Data was analyzed using frequency, percentage, mean, standard deviation, and a paired t-test to determine the differences in the mean scores of outward mindset levels before and after the intervention.

The findings revealed that: (1) the overall level of outward mindset among the participants was high, and (2) a comparison of outward mindset levels before and after the psychological training program showed a statistically significant improvement at the .01 level. Specifically, the mean outward mindset score after the intervention ( = 4.56) was significantly higher than the mean score before the intervention ( = 3.53) at p
