Filtering out what is needed for adaptive self-regulation in the present is irreplaceable in the hustle and bustle of modern organizations. The capacity of this type of cognitive processing, however, is limited because it developed slowly in evolutionary terms. Elevated employee cognitive load in the workplace, juxtaposed against the fact that human conscious capacity adapts at a snail's pace, creates a paradox to be conceptually reconciled. Alignment of these convergences presents a practical challenge for managers. An open-loop created by dissonance between increasing cognitive load and limited human conscious capacity is unlikely to be closed by reducing demands or simplifying mental processes. To maintain a competitive advantage, cognitive automation of employee processing is needed in organizations now more than ever. Said differently, the future may bring brain-boosting power via artificial designer-minds, where brains are upgraded with genetic modifications or with 3D-printing of Bio-bots that have younger brain components. The effectiveness of blending human minds with artificial "intelligence" in organizations, however, is untested, to say nothing of it being morally questionable. Theoretically, it is unclear why organizations spend so much attention and dollars on artificial processing of information when human processing of copious capacity is staring them in the face. That is, across three experiments ( N = 748), I find that subconscious goals not only improve performance, but they do so without consuming limited mental resources. Thus, subconscious processing can remedy this paradox to provide a competitive advantage at no cost. Apropos, I build on the first empirical attempt to connect goal theory and priming of subconscious goals by Stajkovic, Locke, and Blair (2006) and push this theory forward by examining the following research questions. First, are there positive and negative interaction effects of congruent and incongruent conscious and subconscious goals on performance? Second, do congruent subconscious goals reduce cognitive load relative to conscious goals? Do incongruent subconscious goals increase it? Third, is cognitive load a mediating mechanism of interaction performance effects? Taken together, findings from these three experiments reveal that cognitive "savings" can be garnered with congruent subconscious goals, but subconscious goals can also cause goal derailment if they are incongruent with conscious pursuits.
