Impact Of Goal-Setting On Motivation As Affected By The Joint Influence Of The Attributional Dimensions Of Causality, Stability, And Control, Nancy Davis Hodges
Dissertations and Theses
A systematic, empirical study conducted in eight hospital operating rooms found that employees often select opportunity-dependent goals. These goals are self-set or chosen by the individual, but the opportunity to perform the goal chosen is dependent on others.

It was found that when this type of goal is chosen and the individual is not given the opportunity to perform it, the individual attributes the failure to external causes. This failed opportunity-goal type was significantly related to lower motivation, …

Strike participation and support also correlated positively with one measure of current job stress. Other findings included a positive correlation between …

Some common forms of professional education available to employees are (a) internal training and seminars offered by the organization, (b) external training and seminars offered by vendors or professional associations, and (c) courses offered through universities. Some employees fail to take advantage of these educational opportunities. A reluctance on the part of employees to undertake an educational endeavor may limit employees because knowledge is not acquired to perform their present duties better or to prepare them for future opportunities. This situation is …

This paper will discuss policy deployment and its implications for a company's successful pursuit of its vision. The main goal is to support my contention that information dissemination and employee motivation are key to achieving a company vision. The literature will be discussed by the means of relaying common, basic tenets (advice). Two diverse companies, Motorola and Berlin Packaging, were studied, with personal interviews being the major information-gathering technique. These companies will be compared and evaluated based on six focus areas that became apparent after examining the results of the interviews and the policy deployment principles upon which they were …
