Wow! If "information overload" was ever an issue for you, skip visiting this page! As an athlete, and an executive consultant to organizations focused on employee engagement and personal productivity, I found just clicking around a few of the topics provided me with some good, quick, useful information.

The Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) of Icek Ajzen (1988, 1991) helps to understand how we can change the behavior of people. The TPB is a theory which predicts deliberate behavior, because behavior can be deliberative and planned.
TPB is the successor of the similar Theory of Reasoned Action of Ajzen and Fishbein (1975, 1980). The succession was the result of the discovery that behavior appeared not to be 100% voluntary and under control, which resulted in the addition of perceived behavioral control. With this addition the theory was called the Theory of Planned Behavior.
Briefly, according to TPB, human action is guided by three kinds of considerations:
1. Behavioral Beliefs (beliefs about the likely consequences of the behavior)
2. Normative Beliefs (beliefs about the normative expectations of others)
3. Control Beliefs (beliefs about the presence of factors that may facilitate or impede performance of the behavior).
