Self-Managing Team Performance: A Systematic Review of Multilevel Input Factors (2018, background): “The clarity of organizational goals helps teams set team-level goals that align with organizational goals leading to higher performance (Chen & Kanfer, 2006; Hu & Liden, 2011; Locke & Latham, 1990, 2013).”
On Deconstructing Commentaries Regarding Alternative Theories of Self-Regulation (2015, methodology): “Given the reliable predictiveness of goal setting (Locke & Latham, 1990, 2013), these two items alone should yield some relation to performance.”
Self-Control and Grit (2014, background): “Grit and related constructs are associated with lifetime educational attainment (Duckworth & Quinn, 2009) and professional success (Baum & Locke, 2004; Locke & Latham, 2013; Vallerand, Houlfort, & Forest, 2014; Wrzesniewski, 2012).”
The application of Goal Setting Theory to goal setting interventions in sport: a systematic review (2021, methodology): “Despite the contributions of previous reviews, the relationship of goal characteristics and moderators suggested in GST (Locke & Latham, 1990, 2002, 2013) remains unclear within the context of sport.”
Weakness of the will: Is a quick fix possible? (2014, background): “…extensive research refers to the standards that people want to ultimately meet in their goals (and in the sub-goals that lead up to the superordinate goal), and it is high standards defined in specific (concrete) terms that are found to promote goal attainment (summary by Locke and Latham 2013).”
Motivation and cognitive control: from behavior to neural mechanism. (2015, background): “For example, the social-personality literature has provided a wealth of data concerning the central role of goal representations as mediating between motivation and behavior (Fishbach & Ferguson 2007, Hockey 1997, Locke & Latham 2013).”
Understanding students’ motivation towards proactive career behaviours through goal-setting theory and the job demands–resources model (2018, background): “Locke and Latham (2013) argue that goals should be challenging because this produces a high level of motivation and requires new strategies that enhance effort or performance.”
Multiple goals: A review and derivation of general principles (2014, background): “INTRODUCTION It is well established that goals are core motivational constructs that influence behavior (Locke & Latham, 2013).”
The development of goal setting theory: A half century retrospective. (2019, background): “Second, Klein et al. (2013) updated their goal commitment scale and identified several determinants of commitment. Third, Wood et al. (2013) updated the research on strategy as a moderator. Specific, challenging goals combined with appropriate strategies produce stronger performance effects than eit”
