Background
The purpose of this study is to develop a planned intervention in the health care sector in Bahrain to improve self-control of healthcare’ employees by using the new method for characterizing and designing behavior change i.e. the Behavioral Change Wheel (BCW). Hence, the study is applying a longitudinal methodology in the healthcare sector in the Kingdom of Bahrain for a sample of 64 participants over three-month period (from November 2019 to January 2020).
Methods
Procedures of this planned change task went through three stages based on Kurt Lewin change field theory, Stage 1: pre-assessment of employees’ self-control using the Brief Self Control Scale (BSCS) questionnaire. Stage 2: planned intervention via employing the Behavioral Change Wheel (BCW) as a new method of change. Stage 3: post assessment was conducted by repeating the self-control measurement, then comparing the new results with the previous ones.
Results
The findings reveal that the 13-Items of Brief Self-Control Scale (BSCS) provided different results over the three stages of the study. In stage 1 (pre-assessment) self-control level was low, while the result show optimization of self-control in stage 3 (post assessment).
Conclusion
This study adds to the body of knowledge by developing and validating a new model in change human behavior i.e. the change behavior stages (CBS) model. Practically, this study is one of its kind to apply the Brief Self Control Scale (BSCS) and the Behavioral Change Wheel (BCW) in health sector in the Middle East. The BCW has been also confirmed as a “valid” and “reliable” instrument that can be utilized by future researchers to improve human behavior in organizations.
