Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Effects of Goal Difficulty on Performance: A Field Experiment In spite of the theory and evidence indicating that organizations formulate goals for their activities y and the almost ubiquitous presence of budgets and quotas in organizations to influence behavior, systematic investigation of the effects of goals on behavior is rare. Psychological research on aspiration level has focused on how performance affects the aspiration level determination or how the latter is affected by personality variables or group influences. References will be found in Rotter (19510 and Lewin shag to studies which relate performance in Me; tasks to the aspiration level formation process used on the experimental task. Neither those works nor the more recent summary of Starbuck (1963) appear to indicate specific investigation of the effect of the aspiration level on performance in the same task.

Book excerpt: "Goal theory has existed for many years. It has received wide study in academia and has become a large part of practitioner efforts to improve organizational performance. In all cases, goal setting has resulted in better organizational performance than its counter philosophy of "do your best". With the demands on organizations to compete globally and be competitive in an uncertain environment, it has never been more important for organizations to focus their efforts in the most effective way possible. Much research has been devoted to the many aspects of goal theory: self-set versus assigned, hard versus easy, group versus individual. One aspect that has not received much attention has been the effect of past experience on a group or individual's acceptance of the goal and repetitive goal usage. Given the prevalence of repetitive--daily, weekly, monthly, or annual goals--in the workplace, this issue is of critical importance. Using archival production records from a mid-west manufacturing firm, regression analysis was used to test hypotheses for effects of goal difficulty and past experience as well as their interaction on current performance. All models were found to be statistically significant, explaining up to 68% of the variance in current performance. As previously tested and supported in other research, difficult goals are positively associated with task performance. Contrary to previous testing, past experience was not a significant predictor of current performance. While the interaction of goal difficulty and past experience was statistically significant, the result was in a direction opposite to prediction, failing to support the initial hypothesis. These failures are attributed to statistical difficulties in the analysis arising from several factors encountered with the field study and the use of archival data. These included the measuring of goal difficulty, accounting for the use of repetitive goals prior to the period of this study's observation, and the potential effect of streamlined operations through lean manufacturing principles in combination with repetitive goal setting which possibly created a ceiling effect on impact of setting hard goals. These challenges and statistical results are discussed. Implications of the findings and directions for future research are presented."-- Abstract.

Book excerpt: Two experiments tested the hypothesis that the combination of specific, hard goals and knowledge of results (KR) will lead to better performance than do-best goals with and without KR and specific, hard goals without KR. It was also predicted that the latter three conditions would not differ significantly. The first study yielded equivocal support for the predictions, but these results were attributed to possible flaws in the design of the study. A second study which eliminated these potential flaws confirmed the predictions. One intriguing result was that specific hard goal-KR subjects, despite performing best on the task as a whole, performed worst on one sub-element of the task which reflected degree of incidental learning. The implications of the findings are discussed. (Author).

This book was released on 2009 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Numerous studies have found that assigning specific and difficult goals consistently leads to higher performance than urging people to do their best (Locke & Latham, 2002). However, little research has studied the effects of goal difficulty on performance over repeated trials. In this study, performers were assigned a specific outcome goal attained by 10% of performers (norm-referenced goal, NR), a specific improvement goal attained by only 10% of performers (self-referenced goal, SR), or a do one's best goal. Arguments for specific hypotheses were based in achievement goal, goal commitment, and self-regulation theories (e.g. Grant & Dweck, 2003; Locke & Latham, 1990; Wood & Bandura, 1989). It was hypothesized that these different goal assignments would influence motivational and affective consequences. More specifically, benefits from setting SR goals, compared to NR goals, were expected for performance, persistence, satisfaction, and personal goals. The benefits of possessing SR goals were expected to be strongest for low self-efficacy performers. Results neither supported significant main effects between goal type and performance nor the expected interaction of goal type and self-efficacy. However, participants assigned a NR goal set higher personal goals after all performance trials concluded than those told to do their best, and individuals with high self-efficacy set higher personal goals than those with low self-efficacy. Also, participants told to their best were more satisfied with past performances than those given a SR goal, and participants with high performance levels were more satisfied with past performances.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Goal setting theory has consistently found that high and specific goals lead to better performance than low and vague goals do. However, the independent effect of each of these two dimensions, difficulty and specificity, on performance is less clear. Although goal difficulty has been shown to affect performance level independent of goal specificity, evidence for an independent effect of goal specificity is mixed. In the current research, we introduce a moderator, regulatory focus, of the relationship between goal specificity and performance level. Specifically, we hypothesized that people in a promotion focus would be more motivated by aiming for wider goals that have a higher possibility of success and therefore fit an eager-approach strategy, while people in a prevention focus would be more motivated by aiming for narrower goals that have a small range of acceptable outcomes and therefore fit a vigilant-avoidance strategy. We examined this hypothesis with different hypothetical scenarios that manipulated goal width (wide versus narrow) with numerical ranges (Study 1) and visually with a bar graph (Study 2), and with different behavioural tasks that manipulated goal width in a saving strategies task (Study 3) and an anagram task (Study 4a, 4b). The findings revealed promising trends that were consistent with our hypothesis across all studies.
