It makes sense now, more than ever
before, to wear casual clothes when going to work! After all, most of us
now no longer have to go to work, and colleagues no longer see us as we work from home.
Video conferencing meetings can
quickly put on a tidy and decent top piece, without having to change your
comfortable pajama pants!
But how does this kind of behavior
affect the way we think about ourselves and our productivity? Do we really work
better when wearing a shirt or work jacket?
Scientific answer
Many studies respond to this question
in the affirmative, for example, researchers in the United States have found
that people who should remain in high concentration sit it is easier to wear
a white lab coat associated with doctors and scientists.
While it is unlikely that you will wear
a doctor's coat at work from home, the nature
of the garment is really important, says petera linhoub: "The working day
begins in front of the wardrobe, the appropriate clothes increase self-esteem
and self-confidence, and make one work more productively."
This effect also depends on what you
personally associate with certain clothing, "if you are used, for example,
to wearing a jacket to go to work," according to Caroline Pfau, a member
of the German Vocational Training Association.
"Therefore, work has been linked
to this type of clothing all these years," she says, and this can become
part of an ingrained behaviour that results in higher productivity.
It's psychologically a matter of
Psychologist Andreas Bechler
explains: "If you dress rationally to work from home, it will put you in a
different state of mind, even though there are people who can manage this while
they wear pajamas."
People who think others see them as
more efficient while wearing stylish clothes will feel more
comfortable wearing these types of clothing, according to trainer Carolyn Pfaw.
