The volume focuses on three distinct themes: * the relationship between motivation and performance * practical examples of building and strengthening the motivating potential with particular attention paid to productivity and the health of the employees * the development of work motivation over time and the change of the relative importance of central variables Work Motivation provides an exceptional blend of modern theoretical approaches, technologically sound techniques for solving practical problems, and empirical results to prove theoretical and technical validities.
Effect of Locus of Control, Self-efficacy, and Conscientiousness on Goal Commitment and Performance

Pages : 64
Book Description
Research has shown that goal setting does not influence performance without a commitment to achieving the goal (Locke, Latham, & Erez, 1988). Level of goal commitment is predictive of actual performance. Other factors such as personality attributes influence the level of goal commitment and actual performance. The current study examined personality attributes of locus of control, self-efficacy, and conscientiousness on goal commitment and performance. It was found that goal commitment mediated the relationship between the personality attributes and performance. Self-efficacy was found to be a partial mediator between conscientiousness and goal commitment.
The Differential Effects of Position, Velocity, and Acceleration Feedback on Motivation Over Time
Author: Daniel Jacob WatolaPublisher:
ISBN:
Category : Achievement motivation
Languages : en
Pages : 284
Book Description
This paper is concerned with the definition and application of position, velocity, and acceleration performance information as feedback. Specifically, it examines individuals' affective, behavioral, and cognitive reactions to feedback frames over time and across two contrasting performance profiles. Repeated measures MANCOVA supported a performance profile x time interaction for state positive affect, task self-efficacy, satisfaction with performance, and goal commitment. Simple effects analyses indicated that participants' indicators of task motivation increased over time in the accelerating performance profile, but decreased over time in the decelerating performance profile. A three-way interaction between feedback frame, performance profile, and time was not supported as hypothesized.

Long-term Effects of Goal Difficulty and Improvement Goals on Attitudes and Performance
Author: Megan T. ArensPublisher:
ISBN:
Category : Goal (Psychology)
Languages : en
Pages : 112
Book Description
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.
