ISBN: 1317510216
Category : Psychology
Languages : en

Is behavior motivated? And if so, can it be motivated by the anticipation of future events? What role does cognition play in such motivational processes? And, further, what role does motivation play in ongoing cognitive activity? Questions such as these provide the foundation for this book, originally published in 1989. More specifically, the chapters in this book address the question of the utility of goals concepts in studying motivation and social cognition.

The Effects of Task Autonomy and Task Interest on Goal-setting Behavior and Task Performance
Author: Megan E. Crane
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Autonomy (Psychology)
Languages : en
Pages : 67
Book Description
Task autonomy and task interest have been studied in the organizational literature as main effects, demonstrating positive effects on productive work behavior and goal-setting behavior. Providing high task autonomy or an interesting task may stimulate goal setting, but the interaction of these two variables may significantly increase goal level and consequently task performance. Yet, little research has examined this interaction on individuals' goal-setting behavior, when given the opportunity to self-set goals. The purpose of this research is to discover whether the effects of task autonomy on self-set goals are stronger for tasks that are more interesting. Furthermore, I assessed the relationship between goal difficulty and task performance to determine whether goal difficulty mediates the relationship between the interaction and performance. In this study, I created four separate conditions by verbally manipulating task autonomy (high, low) and task interest (interesting, uninteresting). Participants were asked to complete an assembly-type task and set a goal based on how many objects they felt they could construct in 20 minutes. Following the experiment, participants completed a six-item task questionnaire and I assessed their quantitative and qualitative performance on the task. Results contribute to the motivational and organizational literature, and the understanding of worker productivity.

Problems and Solutions in Human Assessment
Author: Richard D. Goffin
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 1461543975
Category : Psychology
Languages : en
Pages : 394
Book Description
The assessment of individual differences has generated shockwaves affecting sociology, education, and a number of other behavioral sciences as well as the fields of management and organizational behavior. In covering the assessment of individual differences, this book pays tribute to the interests and activities that Douglas N. Jackson has incorporated into his career as a psychologist. He continues to be a leader in putting academic findings to practical use. He has also inspired generations of students with his mastery of complex concepts and as a personal example of the ability to balance several simultaneous areas of research. Consistent with the focus of Jackson's research, the theme of this book will be how the use of deductive, construct-driven strategies in the assessment of individual differences leads to benefits in terms of the applicability of the assessment instruments and the clarity of the conclusions that can be drawn from the research.
