The study of personal OKRs on goal setting with voice user interface

Navigating the landscape of self-directed learning proves to be a formidable challenge for millennials, especially when the need arises for upskilling and reskilling in their professional journeys. Despite the recognized importance of Objectives and Key Results (OKRs), the current setup remains a complex task. To address this issue directly, our study explores the design of a Voice User Interface (VUI) aimed at assisting individuals not only in setting but also in tracking and measuring their goals, incorporating a strategic approach to habit formation. This study employs a mixed-methods approach. Engaging 24 participants, this research investigates the implementation of Personal OKRs through VUI, revealing insights gathered over a dedicated one month learning period. Results showcased a noteworthy achievement, with over half successfully surpassing the commit level (0.3) and one-third reaching the stretch level (0.7). Upskill group exhibited higher grit scores and more frequent logins than the Reskill group. Emphatically, participants acknowledged the seamless integration of SMART goals, habit strategies, and scores into the fabric of Personal OKRs.
