Yet the ability to consciously find optimal decisions makes people happier in life. In the Standard, I explain how people can train themselves to make better decisions and, as a result, be more satisfied with their lives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Being self-determined means constantly making your own decisions. As we all know, these are not always the right ones. Afterwards, one is usually smarter, but then also often more frustrated, because what was actually planned did not occur. Johannes Siebert from the Management Center Innsbruck (MCI) and his team have proven this connection in several empirical studies: &#8220;We have shown in a structural equation model that those who have higher proactive cognitive abilities for decision-making are subsequently more satisfied with their lives,&#8221; Siebert reports. Such skills, which are necessary for making wise decisions in private life or at work, can be improved through appropriate training&#8230;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The full article by Johannes Lau can be found <a href=\"https:\/\/www.derstandard.at\/story\/2000131014107\/wie-man-kluge-entscheidungen-trifft\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>References<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Siebert, Johannes U., Becker, Maxi; Oeser, Nadine. \u201cMaking the right career choice: A new educational tool to train decision-making proactivity in high school students\u201d (<em>Decision Sciences Journal for Innovative Education<\/em>), <a href=\"https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/10.1111\/dsji.12280\">https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/10.1111\/dsji.12280<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Siebert, Johannes U.; Kunz, Reinhard, Rolf, Philipp. \u201cEffects of decision training on individuals\u2019 decision-making proactivity\u201d, <em>European Journal of Operational Research, <\/em>294 (1) 2021, 264-282 https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1016\/j.ejor.2021.01.010<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Siebert, Johannes U.; Kunz, Reinhard, Rolf, Philipp. \u201cEffects of Proactive Decision Making on Life Satisfaction\u201d, <em>European Journal of Operational Research<\/em>, 280(1) 2020, 1171-1187, &nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1016\/j.ejor.2019.08.011\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">doi.org\/10.1016\/j.ejor.2019.08.0111<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Siebert, Johannes U.; Kunz, Reinhard. \u201cDeveloping and Validating the Multidimensional Proactive Decision-Making Scale\u201d.
