摘要 Although the benefits of ritual behaviors have been widely recognized, their specific role in enhancing employees' task performance and the conditions under which these effects are most pronounced remain unclear. This study investigates whether performing ritual behaviors at work positively influences task performance and explores the moderating effects of contextual factors such as work demands and work conditions. Using a multi-phase research design, we collected data from 469 full-time employees, approximately evenly split between office-based and remote workers. The findings reveal that engaging in ritual behaviors at work significantly enhances task performance. Notably, this positive effect was most pronounced for employees working from home under high work demands, suggesting that ritual behaviors provide critical self-regulatory support in less structured work environments. These results highlight the value of ritual behaviors at work as a practical strategy for improving task execution and mitigating the adverse effects of excessive workloads. This study contributes to the literature by illustrating how symbolic yet non-instrumental actions can foster task performance in contemporary work settings. Practically, organizations can leverage ritual behaviors at work to design interventions that enhance employee focus, motivation, and productivity across varied work environments.
