探讨目标接受如何调节目标设定对绩效的影响，并提出一个启发式框架来组织影响目标接受的策略，对研究员工动机的管理学者有参考价值。
Goal setting has been widely used to enhance work motivation. This paper discusses the importance of goal acceptance in moderating goal setting effects and shows how workers' acceptance of goals can be influenced at various stages of the progression from goal setting to goal attainment. A heuristic organization of goal acceptance strategies is proposed as a basis for extending the theoretical framework underlying goal setting research.
