Abstract:

Prior research suggests that people’s behaviour and perception can be strongly biased by their current goals. This can occur without people being necessarily consciously aware of that. This idea implies that at least some information would have to be preconsciously processed to a specific degree, in order for the brain to decide what is goal-relevant and what is not. With this theory in mind, I investigated whether motivation could exert a top-down influence on what type of information would enter conscious awareness first and in particular, whether goal-related information would have consciou

Abstract:

Self-Determination Theory (SDT) research on goal pursuit indicates that people with intrinsic goal pursuits experience greater well-being than those with extrinsic goal pursuits. Three nutriments have been suggested by SDT that facilitate intrinsic motivation: autonomy, competence and relatedness. These nutriments, considered social conditions by SDT, have been understudied. However, recent SDT research and the small literature on goal support in relationships suggest that social aspects of goal pursuit are quite relevant and warrant further investigation.

Abstract:

Goal setting is proven to affect the choices and focus of the employees towards certain tasks, therefore it has been suggested for ensuring that sufficient focus and attentions is direct towards explorative activities (Lund & Magnusson, 2015), which are otherwise at risk of being down prioritized (Levinthal & March, 1993). Such effects of goal setting can though not be expected in situations where there is low commitment to the goal program (Latham, 2004). A factor which is important for increasing the goal commitment, is having clear rationales for the goals set. However, because ther

Abstract:

A variable that may be associated with performance improvements is goal setting (within and across days). Easy-to-achieve goals will likely produce gradual trends in improvement and difficult-to-achieve goals steeper trends. The purpose of the current experiments was to study the effects of setting easy-to-achieve and difficult-to-achieve goals on the level, trend, and variability of correct, incorrect, and skip responses for math tasks when reinforcement contingencies and numbers of practices were held constant. Five undergraduate students answered math problems on flash cards in 30s timings.

My research examines how active consumption goals, defined as the benefits sought by the consumer, influence cognitive processes and decision outcomes. I address two common issues pertinent to consumer decisions. Consumers often face choices in which information is not readily available—requiring them to retrieve details from memory. Furthermore, consumer choices are frequently influenced by the type of attributes presented and the decision context itself, sometimes leading to negative outcomes and consequences. In two essays, I study how the activation of consumption goals can influence the

The present study sought to extend goal-setting research by examining the nature of individualsâ self-regulation with respect to performance goals while pursuing multiple, simultaneous goals. It was proposed that goal revision and effort allocation would be influenced by goal-performance discrepancies (GPD), causal attributions for factors affecting performance, self-efficacy, and rate of progress toward task goals. Results indicated that GPDs predicted goal revision direction and magnitude, and that controllability attributions moderated the GPD â revision relation. GPD size determined pr

This dissertation comprises three essays that investigate how goal progress influences information processing and subsequent goal pursuit. Essay 1 demonstrates how perceived goal progress influences construal level. I propose that people perceiving low progress will pay more attention to specific means or subacts, which are required to effectively achieve their goals (a lower level of construal), whereas people perceiving high progress will consider the general meaning or value of their goal (a higher level of construal). Based on this relationship between goal progress and construal level, I

The general aim of this licentiate thesis is to analyze the framework in which long-term goals are set and subsequently achieved.

Knowledge Management (KM) is a mystifying and multidimensional concept. Although recognised as a discipline since the mid 1990's, KM continues to produce controversial debate amongst academics and practitioners from a variety of backgrounds. The competing schools of thought in the KM field stimulate fragmentation, which has led to the development of a wide variety of KM strategies and approaches. The literature review reveals that the majority of organisations consider KM to be strategically important, yet at the same time the majority of KM initiatives fail.

Second, I draw from the goal-setting literature to hypothesize that high levels of goal commitment will moderate the relationship betwee
