The Dimensionality of the Hollenbeck, Williams, and Klein (1989) Measure of Goal Commitment on Complex Tasks

This research examines the dimensionality of the Hollenbeck, Williams, and Klein (1989) self-report measure of goal commitment on complex tasks. Results from three studies suggest that for complex tasks, responses to a subset of items reflect performance expectancies while another subset of items re...

Description
Summary:This research examines the dimensionality of the Hollenbeck, Williams, and Klein (1989) self-report measure of goal commitment on complex tasks. Results from three studies suggest that for complex tasks, responses to a subset of items reflect performance expectancies while another subset of items reflect goal commitment. This response pattern is demonstrated through differential temporal stability, differential relationships with negative feedback reactions, and confirmatory factor analyses. Practical and theoretical implications of the dimensionality of this measure are discussed.
