New Directions in Goal-Setting Theory (2006, background): “Seijts and Latham (2000) examined the effects of conflict versus no conflict between an individual’s and a group’s goals. In a laboratory task involving monetary incentives, they found no main effect for goal setting. However, having high personal goals that were compatible with the group’s goal enh”
Intentions to make sustainable tourism choices: do value orientations, time perspective, and efficacy beliefs explain individual differences?† (2017, background): “Perceptions of collective efficacy is another factor that can benefit cooperation in social dilemmas (De Cremer, 1999; Seijts & Latham, 2000) and hence maybe also tourists’ willingness to contribute to environmental preservation (Doran et al., 2015).”
Determinants and structural relation of personal efficacy to collective efficacy. (2002, unknown): “Some of these studies assess the effects of perceived collective efficacy altered experimentally (Durham, Knight, & Locke, 1997; Earley, 1993, 1994; Greenlees, Graydon, & Maynard, 2000; Hodges & Carron, 1992; Prussia & Kinicki, 1996; Seijts & Latham, 2000).”
A Comparative Study of Green Purchase Intention between Korean and Chinese Consumers: The Moderating Role of Collectivism (2017, background): “Seijts and Latham found that strong collective efficacy which is the belief that the members within a group have the ability to achieve desired outcomes together might be more crucial for individual contributions regarding social problems [44].”
Attitudes, efficacy beliefs, and willingness to pay for environmental protection when travelling (2015, background): “In addition, strong collective efficacy beliefs, that is, the belief that the members of a group (e.g. tourists) can together achieve desired outcomes might be decisive for individual contributions in social dilemmas (De Cremer, 1999; Seijts and Latham, 2000).”
Has Goal Setting Gone Wild, or Have Its Attackers Abandoned Good Scholarship? (2009, background): “Ordóñez et al. (2009) also fail to report the work of Seijts and Latham (2000), who found that when an individual’s goals are compatible with group goals, group performance is enhanced, and when there is conflict between the two, group performance is harmed.”
Building a practically useful theory of goal setting and task motivation. A 35-year odyssey. (2002, unknown): “Seijts and Latham (2000b) found that when speci ﬁ c, dif ﬁ cult goals of the person are aligned with the group ’ s goal of maximizing performance, the group ’ s performance is enhanced.”
New developments in and directions for goal-setting research. (2007, background): “Seijts and Latham (2000) found that a social dilemma is a boundary condition for the positive effect on performance typically obtained from goal setting.”
