- Title
Antecedents of Goal Commitment: An Empirical Examination of Personal and Situational Factors.
- Authors
Klein, Howard J.; Wright, Patrick M.
- Abstract
The purpose of this study was to provide a partial test of the Hollenbeck and Klein (1987) model of goal commitment. Four variables from that model (reward structure, social influence, type-A behavior, and self-esteem) were examined as to their relationships with the expectancy and attractiveness of goal attainment and goal commitment. The results, based on 88 college students performing an anagram task, were generally supportive. Significant person by situation interactions were also observed.
