Do Goals Mediate the Effects of Incentives on Performance?
回顾了1968年Locke提出的目标中介激励(如反馈、参与和金钱)对绩效影响的命题,探讨了可能中介这一关系的个体和情境因素,并整合文献、提出模型和未来研究方向。
In 1968, Locke set forth the proposition that goals mediate the effects of incentives (e.g., feedback, participation, and money) on performance. Research is reviewed here to determine the extent to which Locke’s contention is supported. We attempt to identify (1) individual and situational factors that may mediate the incentive-goal-performance relationship, and (2) integrate the literature. We also offer a model and suggestions for future research.
