Goals definedA goal is an “objective or aim of action” defined as attaining “a specific standard of proficiency on a task, usually within a specified time limit”
(p. 705, Locke & Latham, 2002).
![Page 4: Ess2710 week 3](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070512/589a4a371a28ab040e8b4ea3/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
HistoryEdwin Locke and Gary LathamI/O psychologyBased on over 400+ lab and field based studiesThe theory is one of accepted or internalized goals
How the level of intended achievement is related to actual level of achievement
Based on Ryan’s (1970) premise that conscious goals influence action

Why should we study
goal setting?

Kyllo and Landers (1995) concluded goal-setting was a successful technique for improving performance
Burton and Weiss (2008) found 80% (of 88) studies showed moderate-strong positive effects
Ulmer and Burton (2010) found goal-setting interventions were moderately effective for enhancing motivation,
confidence, and performance

S.M.A.R.T.
Is that it?So why don’t people achieve their goals?
![Page 12: Ess2710 week 3](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070512/589a4a371a28ab040e8b4ea3/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Content & Intensity
Goals have two major attributes—content and intensity.
Content refers to the nature of the activity or end sought.
Intensity relates to the level of importance of the goal to the person
![Page 13: Ess2710 week 3](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070512/589a4a371a28ab040e8b4ea3/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Content: The right type of goalsGoal FocusProcess / performance
Goal TemporalityShort term, intermediate term, long term
![Page 14: Ess2710 week 3](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070512/589a4a371a28ab040e8b4ea3/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Goal specificity
More specific = better performance?
![Page 15: Ess2710 week 3](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070512/589a4a371a28ab040e8b4ea3/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
SpecificityWhen athletes have specific goals or standards of performance to meet, the performance effects would be more pronounced than when specific goals were lacking (i.e., to do my best)
Can result in myopic focus on outcome rather than learning
![Page 16: Ess2710 week 3](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070512/589a4a371a28ab040e8b4ea3/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Tunnel visionA focus on reaching the goal rather than on acquiring the skills required to reach it.
In such cases, the best results are attained if a learning goal is assigned—that is, a goal to acquire the requisite task knowledge
![Page 17: Ess2710 week 3](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070512/589a4a371a28ab040e8b4ea3/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Locke & Latham, (2006)Learning goals facilitates metacognition namely, planning, monitoring, and evaluating progress toward goal attainment.
Metacognition is particularly necessary in environments in which there is minimal structure or guidance
![Page 18: Ess2710 week 3](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070512/589a4a371a28ab040e8b4ea3/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Mediators
of goals and performance
Mediators are explaining variablesWhat causes the relationship?
![Page 19: Ess2710 week 3](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070512/589a4a371a28ab040e8b4ea3/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Mediator variables -
In general, a given variable may be said to function as a mediator to the extent that it accounts for the relation between the predictor and the criterion. Mediators explain how external physical events take on internal psychological significance. Whereas moderator variables specify when certain effects will hold, mediators speak to how or why such effects occur.
(p. 1176 Baron & Kenny, 1986)
![Page 20: Ess2710 week 3](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070512/589a4a371a28ab040e8b4ea3/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)

Goal difficultyMore difficult = better
performance?
![Page 22: Ess2710 week 3](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070512/589a4a371a28ab040e8b4ea3/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
High goals lead to greater effortand/or persistence than do moderately difficult, easy, or vague goals
High, or hard, goals are motivating because they require people to attain more in order to be satisfied than do low, or easy, goals
![Page 23: Ess2710 week 3](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070512/589a4a371a28ab040e8b4ea3/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Goal difficultyAll about acceptance
Very difficult goals might well fail to achieve acceptance, and if this were the case, the positive relationship between goal difficulty and performance would no longer be expected to hold.
On almost any task there is a hypothetical level of difficulty beyond which goal acceptance will not occur. At this point a boundary condition of the theory has been reached
![Page 24: Ess2710 week 3](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070512/589a4a371a28ab040e8b4ea3/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
So long as a person is committed to the goal, has the requisite
ability to attain it, and does not have conflicting goals, there is a positive, linear relationship between goal difficulty and
task performance
(Locke & Latham, 2006, p 265)
![Page 25: Ess2710 week 3](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070512/589a4a371a28ab040e8b4ea3/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Framing goalsDifficulty can be perceived as a threat
Gains vs. losses
Focus on success and the usefulness of effort
![Page 26: Ess2710 week 3](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070512/589a4a371a28ab040e8b4ea3/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
MotivationGoals may simply motivate people to use their existing ability, may automatically ‘‘pull’’ stored task-relevant knowledge into awareness, and/or may motivate people to search for new knowledge. The latter is most common when people are confronted by new, complex tasks
![Page 27: Ess2710 week 3](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070512/589a4a371a28ab040e8b4ea3/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Goals and attentionGoals serve a directive function
They direct attention and effort toward goal-relevant activities and away from goal irrelevantactivities
![Page 28: Ess2710 week 3](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070512/589a4a371a28ab040e8b4ea3/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Goals direct attention, effort, and action toward goal-relevantactions at the expense of non- relevant actions
![Page 29: Ess2710 week 3](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070512/589a4a371a28ab040e8b4ea3/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Goals and self-efficacy
People with high self-efficacy are more likely than those with low self-efficacy to develop
effective task strategies
![Page 30: Ess2710 week 3](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070512/589a4a371a28ab040e8b4ea3/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Self-Efficacy“people’s judgements of their capabilities to organise and execute courses of action”
Bandura (1977, 1986, 1997)
task-specific confidence
(Bandura, 1997)

Self efficacySelf-efficacy is a dynamic, fluctuating property. It’s not a static trait
![Page 32: Ess2710 week 3](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070512/589a4a371a28ab040e8b4ea3/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)

Moderated meditation?Self-efficacy often mediates the effects of other potentially motivating variables, such as personality traits, feedback, participation in decision making, job autonomy, and monetary incentives
![Page 34: Ess2710 week 3](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070512/589a4a371a28ab040e8b4ea3/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)

Moderator variablesIn general terms, a moderator is a qualitative (e.g., sex, race, class) or quantitative (e.g., level of reward) variable that affects the direction and/or strength of the relation between an independent or predictor variable and a dependent or criterion variable. Specifically within a correlational analysis framework, a moderator is a third variable that affects the zero-order correlation between two other variables. ... In the more familiar analysis of variance (ANOVA) terms, a basic moderator effect can be represented as an interaction between a focal independent variable and a factor that specifies the appropriate conditions for its operation.
(p. 1174 Baron & Kenny, 1986)

Goals that are difficult require high effort and are associated with lower chances of success than easy goals

Two key categories of factors facilitating goal commitment are a) Importance, for example outcomes that they expect as a result of working to attain a goal
b) their belief that they can attain the goal (self-efficacy)
![Page 42: Ess2710 week 3](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070512/589a4a371a28ab040e8b4ea3/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)

Task Complexity The extent that task knowledge is harder to acquire on complex tasks
Goal effects aredependent on the ability to discover appropriate task strategies
![Page 45: Ess2710 week 3](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070512/589a4a371a28ab040e8b4ea3/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Meta-analysis of task complexity as moderatorIt was generally found that goal-setting effects were strongest for easy tasks (reaction time, brainstorming), and weakest for more complex tasks (business game simulations, scientific and engineering work, faculty research productivity)
Wood, Mento & Locke, 1987
![Page 46: Ess2710 week 3](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070512/589a4a371a28ab040e8b4ea3/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
Situational constraintsRole overload (excess work without the necessary resources to accomplish a task) moderates goal effects; goals affected performance only when overload was low
![Page 47: Ess2710 week 3](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070512/589a4a371a28ab040e8b4ea3/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
Should I set my own goals? Or should my coach set them for me?

Assigned goal effects are mediated by personal or self-set goals that people choose in response to the assignment, as well as by self-efficacy (and probably goal commitment)
![Page 49: Ess2710 week 3](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070512/589a4a371a28ab040e8b4ea3/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)

Assigning a challenging goal alone raisesself-efficacy because this is an implicit expression of confidence by a leader that the employee can attain the goal

Seijts, Latham, Tasa, and Latham (2004)People with a learning goal orientation tend to choose tasks in which they can acquire knowledge and skill.
Those with a performance goal orientation tend to avoid tasks where others may judge them unfavourably due to possible errors they might make. Hence they tend to choose easy tasks in which they can look good in the eyes of others

Key SummarySpecific, high (hard) goals lead to a higher level of task performance than do easy goals or vague, abstract goals such as the exhortation to ‘‘do one’s best.’’ So long as a person is committed to the goal, has the requisite ability to attain it, and does not have conflicting goals, there is a positive, linear relationship between goal difficulty and task performance.
